Shaken by Tim Tebow

Tim Tebow seemed to have everything going for him completing a successful college football career at the University of Florida and then winning the Heisman Trophy. His dream of playing in the NFL became a reality after he was drafted by the Denver Broncos. All did not go as he would have liked as he was traded after a playoff run with the Denver Broncos to the New York Jets. He only played one season with the Jets and had a brief preseason with the New England Patriots before being released.

While playing in the NFL he received a lot of media attention and criticism. He begins the book by sharing some of the lessons he learned during that time and what it means to stay grounded amidst fear, doubt and criticism.

He also shares how one can move forward, focusing on how a person can impact others as he or she moves forward in a purposeful direction grounded in faith in Christ. His stories as well as others shared in the book encourages the reader to move forward taking on whatever storms may come. Tim Tebow's honesty about his own struggles in his faith journey is inspiring as well.

There are many quotes throughout the book. Some of my favorites are "God will never waste your pain when it is offered to Him" and "We are blessed to be a blessing."   

I would recommend this book for anyone who is facing challenging circumstances. I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
