From his earliest memories, Joe Jackson dreamed of playing in the National Football League and being somebody great-a champion. But growing up in a family of seven in a Cincinnati suburb during the turbulent times of the 1960s didn't look promising. It took hard work, discipline, and good coaching to become a champion in the world's eyes in the NFL. But the most significant change didn't take place on a football field, but in his heart when he gave his life to Jesus Christ. Only then did his dream of playing in the NFL and the Super Bowl become a reality.
In the pages of this fascinating biographical account, Joe Jackson recounts how he tackled challenge after challenge in life, and reveals how football opened the door to a place where the giants of fear and a low sense of self-esteem roamed freely.
In Championship Sunday, Joe shares an uncut version of his life story and reveals that true champions are never satisfied with titles won on a particular day, but it's the battles we win as a believer that matter the most as we walk out our own salvation with fear and trembling. His story encourages everyone to push past their fear and insecurity to become the champion that is hidden inside.
Industry Reviews
Over the years I have watched the growth of Joe Jackson's ministry. The many times he has preached and shared in song have truly inspired thousands. We were blessed that he served as church evangelist at Phoenix First Assembly of God for almost thirty years. I'm excited about Championship Sunday. For the believer, there is never an off-season or bye week. I'm so proud of you, Joe, and love you dearly. You are a champion in and out of season!

My old friend, Joe Jackson. Glad to hear about Championship Sunday. I'm looking forward to reading my autographed copy. I will never forget when we ministered together in Minnesota back in the '80s, then reconnecting in the '90s. I was at a crossroads looking for direction, and your words were confirmation that my boxing career was not over. Thanks, Big Joe, for your encouragement.

Championship Sunday takes you on a journey. From a boy born and raised in urban America to a man competing in the NFL, Joe Jackson's story evokes both inspiration and motivation. Championship Sunday is a testimony that dreams can still come true. A nobody can become a somebody when they allow God to direct their steps. This message will awaken the champion within you!

I first met Joe Jackson at a Minnesota Vikings chapel service in 2010. He has always been my big brother who leads by example. My wife and I believe in Joe Jackson's ministry. We support the call of the evangelist. Joe's love for God is amazing. He understands and realizes that everyone is not at the same level in their walk with Christ. Joe Jackson meets people right where they are and encourages them to become the champions and role models that are so needed in today's culture. I'm buying the first copy of Championship Sunday!
