Summary

A unanimous All-American and member of the College Football Hall of Fame, Bill Glass enjoyed a remarkable twelve-year NFL career and was a four-time Pro Bowl selection. But he’s made his greatest impact as a loving family man and servant of God, establishing and running one of the world’s oldest and largest prison ministries.
In From Hero to Zero, Bill recounts his extremely difficult grieving process after losing his lover and spouse of sixty years. In his words, he “wrassled with the heartache, pain, and suffering, sometimes on top and sometimes on the bottom. Because we find ourselves on the bottom too often and it is healthy to admit to going through the valley of the shadow of death. But shadows can’t hurt you!”
Bill’s message is one of raw and complete honesty. His hope is that his struggles will be therapeutic for your pain and suffering—because sooner or later we all go through it.
