“With this book, Tim encourages readers to keep moving and stay strong while battling life’s obstacles.”—Cam Newton, quarterback for the Carolina Panthers
 
Most of us have been on the receiving end of rejection, a broken dream, or heartbreak. And while this is not an easy space to go through, when we are grounded in the truth, we can endure the tough times.
 
In this powerful book, Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow passionately shares glimpses of his journey staying grounded in the face of disappointment, criticism, and intense media scrutiny.
 
Tebow talks about what he’s learned along the way, building confidence in his identity in God, not the world. This moving book also features practical wisdom from Scripture and insights gained from others who have impacted him in life-changing ways.

Ratings and reviews

The overall message was good. He should fire his editor because he runs on sentences like he runs on a football field. I also think that there needs to be better transitions to make it seem less scatter-brained with random snippets. Not every reader knows the chronological order of teams Mr. Tebow has played for. Lastly, I think that there is too much emphasis placed on negativity (bad experiences don't come from God; He gives us the opportunity to rise above these hurdles). I don't know if you were asking the right questions. We need to remember to pray for others and not be so focused on selfish energies. For example, if he had focused less on being like Tom Brady and just played the game he probably would not have been cut so quickly. I think that being cut from various teams could be sumed up in three words: blessing in disguise. The book is very colloquial and would almost work better as a series of monologues or a one man show of sorts. I am just being honest since Mr. Tebow implied that he likes constructive critiscm. I thought that this feedback might be helpful for future book endeavors. Good luck and God Bless!

Loved it! Read it over and over!😀 it is packed with sooo many truths that I simply needed to be reminded of, and i love that it's written with a practical and positive view of life. It reminded me that 'Gods got this' and that nothing passes through His hand that is not part of a greater plan.😊

Great Reading, Great Scriptures, It's for someone that wants to read testimonials that can relate to the word of God. This young man writes from his Heart, which is rare now days.There's Hope, Love, and Faith in this book.
