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.
