Synopsis:
Over the course of the last five years, Tim Tebow established
himself as one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of
college football and a top prospect in the NFL. During that time
he amassed an unparalleled resume—winning two BCS national
championships, becoming the first sophomore in NCAA history
to win the Heisman trophy, and in the face of massive public
scrutiny, being drafted in the first round of the NFL draft by
the Denver Broncos.
Now, in Through My Eyes, Tebow brings readers everywhere
an inspirational memoir about life as he chose to live it, revealing
how his faith and family values, combined with his relentless will
to succeed, have molded him into the person that he is today. As
the son of Christian missionaries, Tim Tebow has a unique story
to tell,from the circumstances of his birth, to his home-schooled
roots, to his record-setting collegiate football career with the
Florida Gators and everything else that took place in between.
At every step, Tim Tebow's life has defied convention and
expectation. While aspects of his life have been well-documented
the stories have always been filtered through the opinions and
words of others. Through My Eyes is his passionate, firsthand,
never-before-told account of how it all really happened.

Okay, let me get this out of the way first-I am a member of the
GATOR NATION and that is why I picked this book. However,
even though I know a lot about the Tebow legacy, I am buying
this book as a present for others. This book is about so much
more than football or the Gators; it is about a young man with a
passion for football and more importantly a powerful believe in
his faith.
Everything Tim does is based on his love for God through Jesus
Christ. This is what is most important in his life. He talks about
his mission trips to the Philippines, his work with sick children
and speaking in prisons. He has an outlook far beyond his years
and knows that he has to hand everything over to our Lord and
He will take care of us. There is a purpose for everything in life
and there is a reason why everything happens-good and bad.
God has a purpose for everyone, whether big or small.
For football fans, this book takes you through the Tebow years
in detail. The Heisman trophy, his relationship with his parents
and with Urban Meyer. How he became a leader and the training
he puts in to being the best he can possibly be.
The book only briefly touches on the Denver Broncos, but Tim
has yet to leave his mark there. I firmly believe there is a lot
more to come from this very centered young man. Even if you
are not a Gator, please read this book; it is an example of a truly
good-hearted young man that will inspire you. (Oh yeah--GO
GATORS!) *****__jessie2
Through My Eyes is the most important book to come out since
The Purpose Drive Life. Now I know why people admire Tim
Tebow so much, consider for example his ability to make other
players better. Tony Dungy alluded to that quality in his
endorsement. He is a positive role model for young people and
that also came out in the documentary that E.S.P.N. did on him
as well. Any organization he plays for, or any position he holds,
he will leave in better condition than he found it and the team
will grow stronger. He is a leader in every sense of the word.
Strength and faith are two important themes to his life and
overall this is the strongest statement of faith from a high profile
athlete. This book has the potential of furthering the cause of
foreign missions as well, keeping in mind the work that his family
does in the Philippines. Despite all the second guessing and
criticism he still managed to rise above it; he is smart enough to
consider the source.
Read it along with the new Albert Pujols book. Forget about the
e-book, the hardcover edition comes with a bonus on the inside
of the jacket. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Tebow, for in addition
to helping the Pro-Life Movement you also have a million dollar
family. *****__David A. Baker
Tim Tebow is one of the most
accomplished players in college football
history. A two-time winner of the
NCAA National Football Championship
with the University of Florida, Tim is
also the first-ever sophomore to win
the Heisman Trophy.
He then went on to become a two-time
winner of the Maxwell Award for the
nation’s top football player, while also
winning the Davey O’Brien Award for
the nation’s best college quarterback
and the James E. Sullivan Award for
the most outstanding amateur athlete
in any sport.
He is the founder of the Tim Tebow
Foundation which was started to bring
faith, hope, and love to those needing a
brighter day in the darkest hour of
need, and in April 2010, Tim was
selected in the first round of the NFL
Draft by the Denver Broncos. He lives
in Colorado.
