In my continued effort to read different types of books (most recently a politcal thriller, a book of short stories, a Russian classic, a book about the religious themes of the Chronicles of Narnia, and the penultimate book in A Series of Unfortunate Events), I am now reading Tony Dungy's memoir. I'm liking it very much. He is such a good man.
Pauletta and Denzel Washington, in their foreward to the book wrote, "It has been said that we get good at whatever we practice. Coach Dungy practices proactive faith. This faith is not a gimmick or magic or the will of a strong mind. It is not a short-order request to receive what we want when we want it. Proactive faith is receving everything that has been promised to us by God's Word for His purpose in His timing.
"Because of his proactive faith, Tony Dungy has been able to climb many mountains. Great achievements require great effort, and Coach Dungy's greatest accomplishment is that through it all, he has stayed obedient to God's will...
"The payoff of such faith is far better than anything the material world can offer. In this world, one can never be satisfied. The reward of remaining patient and obedient to the will of God is that life becomes fulfilling and satisfying...complete."
So far, so good.
