The Sacred Acre: The Ed Thomas Story


This is the first book I have read by Mark Tab, and it won’t be the last. This book is a retelling of Major events of a high school football coach. What the reader learns in the book is that Ed Thomas isn’t an ordinary football coach but he is a hero, that fixed a towns spirit the book changes moods all along the way it is tragic and uplifting.

The book is about a small town Iowa football coach who after a terrible tornado fixes everyone’s will with football. It goes back and forth between the past and how it relates to him during the football season. The book is also about the people in his life including his wife Jan, and his kids. Thomas was such a great character that makes you wonder if he was even real. . Ed Thomas is such a relatable character and very lighthearted, and represents the good in people.


I most definitely liked the book and I recommend it to anyone. The book is good for non-sports fans, there was very little about football, and would be enjoyed by anyone. Watch out though it can be a real downer. I could imagine the events unlike any other memoir and I hope everyone takes the time, to give this book a chance.
