ByFaith Magazine has an interview with me on our book Glory Road.  The interview was conducted by Richard Doster, editor of the magazine.  Like me, he was encouraged by the stories of the men in the book and had a few questions he hoped would expand the book’s exposure and the importance of the discussion.  The interview begins:
