Tim Tebow is een van de meest gevierde spelers in de geschiedenis van het universitair voetbal. Als tweevoudig winnaar van het NCAA National Football Championship met de University of Florida, is Tim ook de eerste sophomore die ooit de Heisman Trophy heeft gewonnen. Hij werd vervolgens tweevoudig winnaar van de Maxwell Award voor de beste voetballer van het land, terwijl hij ook de Davey O’Brien Award voor de beste universitaire quarterback en de James E. Sullivan Award voor de meest opmerkelijke amateuratleet in welke sport dan ook won. Hij is de oprichter van de Tim Tebow Foundation, die is opgericht om geloof, hoop en liefde te brengen aan degenen die een lichtere dag nodig hebben in het donkerste uur van nood. In april 2010 werd Tim in de eerste ronde van de NFL Draft geselecteerd door de Denver Broncos.

ECPA BESTSELLER • The New York Times bestselling sports star and media icon motivates readers to stop postponing dreams and start making them happen now—because this is the day. Beyond Tim Tebow’s exploits as a Heisman-winning football player, he is widely known and respected for his exemplary character and personal excellence, which have made him a role model for millions. When Tim interacts with the public, he often encounters people who feel “stuck”—unable to take action on matters ranging from daily life to pursuing lifelong dreams. In response, Tim often identifies a crippling fear or lack of courage, to which he advises: “now is the time to take some risks, to quiet the voices of defeat, to step forward and make a mark, because this is the day.” In this inspiring, motivational book, readers will receive the advice and encouragement to daily move from “pause” to “play” in finding deeper meaning and success. Tim illustrates the book’s themes with stories from his personal life that will delight all readers.
One of the best quarterbacks in the history of college football traces his path to success, discussing his childhood as the son of Christian missionaries and how his faith combined with his drive to succeed have made him the person he is today.
The New York Times bestselling author and Heisman Trophy winner shares a vision for young Christians still forming their identity and finding their God-given purpose—even when life doesn’t go as planned. Beloved sports icon Tim Tebow was a college football champion and a first-round draft pick—but then he was traded and eventually cut. In Shaken Young Reader’s Edition, he reveals how he navigated both triumph and disappointment and explains how neither the highs nor the lows of his life define him. Ultimately, only God can do that. The same is true for every one of us. God has given us a unique set of talents and experiences in order to fulfill our divine purpose. Whether He intends for us to influence those close to us, like our friends and our family, or even the entire world, there are no limits to the great things God can accomplish through us when we let Him determine who we are. But we may miss God’s incredible plan for our lives if we’re so busy trying to be just like everyone else—by blending in with the crowd or refusing to stand up for what is right. Jesus was anything but normal! Nothing is more empowering, more life-giving, and more exciting than having a strong identity. Jesus knows this, and He wants you to know it as well. When we are willing to let God define who we are, He will take what we have to offer and multiply it in ways and for purposes that we cannot imagine!
