Last Second Miracles is a Utah-based media publishing company creating interactive children's books and interactive iPhone and iPad apps. They were the first company to gain NCAA license approval to create interactive Ebooks. Their first title was a story recreating the historic 2006 BYU vs. Utah football game. Jonny Harline caught the final touchdown from John Beck with no time left on the clock to beat the University of Utah in dramatic fashion. This story lives on as "The Answered Prayer" and is the name of their first title. The media coined this phrase because of the throw and because Jonny Harline caught the ball landing on his knees in prayer-like fashion. NCAA football considers this one of the greatest rivalry game moments in the BYU-Utah rivalry.
Last Second Miracle books are unique in that each one of their books relives the historic games and has an embedded soundchip in the back of the book of the memorable announcers play call. Their books have sold in Costco, Macey's, Deseret Book, the BYU Bookstore and online at www.lastsecondmiracles.com The interactive app sells in the IPhone/IPod Touch App Store and the Google Play marketplace. Each year when BYU and Utah play their heated rivalry game, their book The Answered Prayer continues to get much press from media, as fans love to relive their favorite rivalry moments.
Last Second Miracles was created in 2010 by two brothers, Neal and Lance Brown, and Kenneth Jackson, who all grew up in Kanab, Utah. They plan to continue producing children's books about the greatest games in sports history, with a famous announcer's play call embedded in each book. They encourage submissions from sports broadcasters who lived through other memorable sporting events and hope to publish them through Last Second Miracles LLC.
