Joe Gibbs speaking
Joe Gibbs visited the Billy Graham Library June 23 to sign copies of his book, Game Plan for Life. As head coach of the Washington Redskins, Gibbs led his team to win the Super Bowl three out of four times (XVII, XXII and XVIII). He continued his success as the NASCAR team owner of Joe Gibbs Racing, which won three NASCAR Cup Series Championships. He first began sharing his faith as a kid on the football team and continues sharing Christ with people today.

The book signing drew some race fans who asked Gibbs to sign their own memorabilia.
Dana Frye and wife
Dana Frye and his wife waited in line to meet Gibbs, who Dana said he admires for the joy he displays in all circumstances. Frye became a Redskins fan solely “because of Joe Gibbs and his testimony.”
