Jerry Jenkins
From Coach Gibbs:
“Jerry Jenkins collaborated with my first book and when it came time to put together the writing team for Game Plan for Life I really wanted Jerry’s involvement. Jerry had the tough job of making my life interesting and relevant to the Game Plan for Life. Besides being a fabulous writer, Jerry is a great guy to be with, always joking around.”
