Tenacious: How God Used a Terminal Diagnosis to Turn a Family and a Football Team into Champions

Jeremy

Williams captured the nation’s imagination by coaching his high school football

team to unprecedented heights while combating ALS and caring for a son with

spina bifida. This is his family’s inspiring story.

America first

met Jeremy and Jennifer Williams when Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

rebuilt their Depression-era farmhouse into a beautiful, handicapped-accessible

haven. Friends, family, and neighbors from their west Georgia community—and all

over the state—came together to support the ailing high school coach who had

won their respect and their hearts. It made for compelling television but only

told a little slice of the story. Tenacious gives you the rest—a tender

love story, a thrilling sports story, and an unforgettable testimony to the

power of faith and grit in the face of almost overwhelming adversity. In Tenacious

you’ll meet:

The distraught parents learning

their son would be born with spina bifida.The young father facing his own

devastating diagnosis of ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) with matter-of-fact

courage.The coach who guided his

underdog team to a 10–0 Cinderella season—while struggling to walk, talk,

and even breathe.

Packed full

of faith, hope, love, and miracles, Tenacious is a story you don’t want

to miss.
