Centered by a Miracle: A True Story of Friendship, Football, & Life

Centered by a Miracle bears a striking resemblance to William Blinn’s book, Brian’s Song, which details the friendship between football players Brian Piccolo and Gale Sayers during Piccolo’s battle with cancer. Piccolo would succumb to the disease and the story, written in the 1970s, is more focused on the racial aspect of the friendship. Centered by a Miracle is focused less on race and more on the friendship that utilized almost every play in the (Good) Book to beat a foe called cancer.

Steve Rom and Rod Payne write for both men and women, avoiding the use of too much sports jargon and clichés or sappy sentimentality. Centered by a Miracle achieves a great balance to tell a wonderful and inspiring story.
