Bud Wilkinson Book with Epiphany Connection

Dear Jay, Love Dad is the title of a new book published by the University of Oklahoma Press. It is a book of letters written by Bud Wilkinson, legendary Oklahoma football coach, to his son Jay. Jay Wilkinson, an All American football player in his own right, is an Episcopalian who attends St. Paul's Cathedral in Oklahoma City.

His collection of letters from his father, with a commentary from Jay on each one, touches on many aspects of life, including his constant belief in his son and his words of encouragement and faith as Jay faces new challenges as he enters Duke in the 60's, a lonely and homesick freshman. Bud's letters help Jay achieve not only in the classroom but also on the football field. However, the letters do not stop with Jay's graduation.

They continue as Jay faces new challenges in his graduate work at the Episcopal Theological Seminary. In these letters, Bud discusses his thoughts about religion, morality, ethics, and politics. He writes from the perspective of one who has moved on from coaching to enter and then lose an Oklahoma senate race, to heading various businesses, and to becoming a TV sports analyst. He writes from the heart as he looks back on his own life while focusing on Jay's future life. Always the book resounds with words of faith and love, and according to the Right Reverend Steven Charleston, Interim Dean, St. Paul's Cathedral, Oklahoma City "The life Jay Wilkinson describes in this wonderful book is the life of faith. Faith runs through all of these letters like a golden thread. Jay helps make our own faith come alive in these words of a father to his son."

MyStory - Carrie Boren

Carrie Boren is an evangelist on a global scale. She has led mission trips and evangelism crusades throughout Africa, and was the sole Episcopalian representative at the Lausanne Global Evangelization Congress. She guides and instructs churches throughout our Diocese and the greater Church on how to design and implement evangelism plans to reach people with the Gospel.

Before God’s calling on her life to preach the Gospel both here in Dallas and around the world, God first called her to Himself. Initially Carrie was intellectually resistant to Christianity, but God pierced her heart and then renewed her mind.

Watch Carrie Boren’s MyStory video to see how God transformed her life and would use her to transform others for the Kingdom... watch the video
