More DescriptionA former University of Alabama All-American football star, a member of Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant's 1973 national championship team, and father to current Alabama star quarterback Brodie Croyle, John Croyle sidelined a possible lucrative career in the NFL to be a "dad" to more than 1,500 children abandoned by parents. Croyle and his wife founded the Big Oak Ranch for adolescents in 1974 and have since raised children from backgrounds of abuse and neglect to become productive citizens, providing them with a safe and loving home as well as educational and vocational opportunities. The specific challenges of raising adolescent boys to become men of strength, integrity, and good character are set forth in Croyle's honest and unflinching voice.
