I love this man. I absolutely love him. He is an amazing man of God.One of the things I like about the book is that his faith shines through, but it does not feel forced at all. It's not like he's preaching at you. He's telling his story, which means he can't help but talk about his God, and all that He has done for him.
"...we press on...our hearts buoyed by a God who loves us and wants us to know Him deeply. We press on with our sense that life's not always fair. And we press on with the knowledge - and assurance - that even though we can't see all of God's plan, He is there, at work and in charge, loving us. We press on with the conviction that even though we don't deserve the gifts and blessings we've been given, He gives them anyway. We press on into an abundant life on earth, followed by an eternity with God."
This book tells mostly of his life (which means there's more football than I would ordinarily like, but considering he's a coach, I wouldn't expect less). He's written a second book, though, that looks like it's more about his beliefs. I really want to read that one. It could be even better.
For now, though, this is the one I've read, and I highly recommend it.

I just checked this out of the library. I'm reading a Sylvia Plath biography and figured my next book should be something a bit more positive and hopeful.
wow - i didn't actually think anyone would. yay! :)
It's because you recommended it, but didn't say I had to read it.
Sylvia Plath is annoying me. But I have to finish it so that I can get to the Dungy book.
