Pea Soup for the Packer Heart
A Tribute to the World’s Greatest Fans & Team!
By Steve Rose with Kathi Rose
The incredible success of Steve Rose’s 1996 book Leap of Faith: God Must Be a Packer Fan (50,000 copies sold) has paved the way for this 15-year-later green-and-gold book with 99 of the most heartwarming stories to ever come out of the shadows of Lambeau Field in Green Bay. In his light and engaging style, Rose takes us into the lives of Packer fans, their memories, experiences and tales. This will fill the shelves of many true Packer fans and those-to-soon-be.
Here is a sample of back cover copy.
Pea Soup for the Packer Heart is about and for the fans of the Green Bay Packers. In this book you’ll read what comment by a Packer fan to Bart Starr on the golf course made him crack up. Find out why Ryan Longwell kicked 11-yr-old Anna in the head. Discover the touching act the Packer organization did for four families affected by cancer and what Packer item can cover cab fare in Hong Kong. Steve Rose, the author of Leap of Faith: God Must Be a Packer Fan, shows the meaningful connection that exists between the fans and team.
