About That Football Game: And What Came Of It
Product Description Continuing with the same main characters from Claude Lightfoot, Fr. Finn again paints a vivid picture of the All-American boy in That Football Game: And What Came of It, covering a variety of Catholic topics while also giving a stalwart defense of the game of football. The Catholic Faith is described through everyday life, just the way it should be. Easy to pick up and hard to put down -- this book is a joy to read not only for young people, but also for adults! About the Author Father Francis J. Finn was born to Irish immigrant parents at St. Louis, Missouri in 1859. He loved to read Charles Dickens works as a boy, including The Pickwick Papers, and eventually became a priest thanks to the influence of Father Charles Coppens. After graduating from St. Louis University, he became a Jesuit and was ordained a priest in 1893. He had already begun writing his debut novel Tom Playfair prior to this, as he was assigned to St. Mary s College in Kansas and dealt with unruly boys on a daily basis. He went on to write twenty-seven other books, and his novels for children were very successful. He was much loved by young people, and thousands of them gathered to honor his death in 1928. Francis Finn also wrote That Football Game, Claude Lightfoot, Ethelred Preston, Lucky Bob, His Luckiest Year, Facing Danger, and Cupid of Champion.
