Overview
Success. Influence. Accolades. Winning.
Legendary Football Coach Bobby Bowden has it all.
As the all-time winningest coach in Division I football history, Coach Bowden has statues erected in his honor and national charities and awards named after him. Four generations of fans have heard his message and witnessed his results. He built a successful career, climbed to the top of his field, and has a loving family. It’s what we all want.
And yet, Coach Bowden, who, as he puts it, is in the “fourth quarter” of his life, has a message for us all. The success . . . the influence . . . the accolades . . . the wins. . . none of it matters if our lives are not rooted in faith. God trumps our best hand. He always wins. Which is how it should be. That is the wisdom he wants to share. Let him tell you why faith and happiness are inseparable.
No matter your life circumstance, The Wisdom of Faith shows you what really matters—from the perspective of a man who has made the journey. He looks back over eighty years. And he invites us to look forward with him into the future.

Bobby Bowden is known as much for his affable charm as
he is for his championship teams. Having coached young men in seven
decades, he is the winningest coach in major college football
history. Bowden guided Florida State University to more than three
hundred victories, two national championships, twelve Atlantic
Coast Conference titles, finishing in the top five in the country
in fourteen straight seasons, and he also led the Seminoles to Bowl
Games in twenty-eight consecutive seasons during his
thirty-four-year tenure.
The patriarch of college football’s most famous coaching family, Bowden remains heavily involved in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, annually awarding The National Bobby Bowden Award to a student-athlete for achievement on and off the field, including his conduct as a faith model in the community. Bowden was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2006. He and his wife of sixty-one years, Ann, live in Tallahassee, Florida.
