"Touchdown in the Dark" from Christian Faith Publishing author Jerry Silver is a profound narrative that allows readers to identify the solution to bigotry, racism, and other serious issues that have become continued problems in today's world.

MEADVILLE, Pa., Dec. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Touchdown in the Dark": a compelling true story of a young man who surrendered his life to God in his teenage years but later, as a pastor of a small church, faced some racial issues which would shake his faith to its core. "Touchdown in the Dark" is the work of published author Jerry Silver, who after graduating from Maranatha Baptist University, Watertown, Wisconsin in 1974 went on to become a teacher, coach and Senior Pastor in 5 different ministries over the span of 46 years.
Silver writes, "First of all, though it may be unbelievable as you begin to read this story, every single word about the bigotry and racism which plagued a small church and school in Oak Lawn, Illinois, is the absolute truth. Though some of the names and events have been altered to protect the innocent, every event occurred between 1950 and 2000, just as I have recorded them.
"Next, I want you to know this true story is not about the game of football, but rather it is the story of the character and moral strength of the men with whom I had the privilege to play the game of football. It is also the true account of some ordinary men and women who became extraordinary by choosing to follow the example of Jesus Christ.
"Most of all, I want you to know the real solution to ending the bigotry, hatred, and hypocrisy, which have been ripping our nation and world apart.
"Please read this book with an open mind and heart. The solution will probably not surprise you, but I hope it will inspire and challenge you to become part of the solution, which will change this old world for God's glory!"
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Jerry Silver's new book is an impelling account that will give readers an insight into the problems of today and inspire them to become part of the solution that will change this world.
With this book, Silver hopes that readers will realize that he is not seeking revenge against those who made themselves his enemies. He also hopes the spotlight will swing from those enemies and will shine on the real heroes of this account—his loving family and those faithful folks who simply chose to obey God's word.
