Glen Coffee Jr. will be at the Paul W. Bryant Museum on October 24, 2026 from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. to sign copies of the book, “There’s More to Life than the Pursuit of Money”!

<h2>About the Book</h2>
The idea of There’s More to Life than the Pursuit of Money came in 2010 from Glen Jr.’s decision to leave a promising, lucrative NFL career with the San Francisco 49er’s due to a spiritual awakening. According to Glen, God spoke to him. “Glen, I want you to retire from the NFL and go out into the world and spread my word!” As God spoke to my son, He spoke to my heart as well. This life-changing experience with God has definitely put a spirit in our hearts that will not rest! Chapter 7 of our book is titled “Glen Finds Christ at Bama” and really reveals how the Holy Spirit started molding Glen for the path that God was preparing for him. When our adult children team up with Christ to combat sin, we as parents can then claim our victories. Our book covers Glen’s relationship with God in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, at Bruner Middle School to Fort Walton High, and on to the University of Alabama under legendary coach Nick Saban. After that life-changing decision, Glen Jr. became an inspirational speaker and joined the Untied Stated Army and served four years as an Army Ranger. In this profound correspondence, we wanted to be transparent showing our audience that we’re imperfect people living in an imperfect world. We also wanted to show our readers how we submitted our hearts to Jesus Christ! The world tends to worship money, the more we get the more we want. There’s More to Life than the Pursuit of Money show’s our readers how dangerous money is when used out of context and also shows how God created it for enjoyment. There’s More to Life than the Pursuit of Money is unbiased and based on biblical truths that will challenge us humans to look in the mirror and lament for Christ! Glen and I are inviting you to take an honest look at your relationship with Christ and communicate with Him, just like He communicated with us and inspired us to write There’s More to Life than the Pursuit of Money!
