For those of you who do not know, Tim Tebow was a famous football player. He was a star in college and won the Heisman Trophy in 2007, his sophomore year. However, once he made it to the NFL, Tebow never became the star he once was. He had some moments of greatness, but could never truly excel. This lead to teams cutting him which led him to work as hard as he possibly could to be on another team. This book is not just a 'woe is me' book though. Tebow explains how he discovered himself through his faith and how that is impacting his life. He also talks about why you should have faith in your life and how it could change your life for the better.

I am always happy to read books by high profile individuals so I can learn about their stories and their messages about life. While there were a few sections I particularly liked, this book was overly religious for me. Tebow never forced his faith on you, but it was written as though the reader shared his faith. I am not the most religious and I found myself a little annoyed at the seemingly excess religious faith Tebow preached about. I do recommend this book, however, to anyone who shares some of Tebow's religious faith because I do believe his message is a good one.
