This is the Day

I have always been a fan of Tim Tebow.  I remember watching him play as the quarterback for the Denver Broncos and loving his style, but what I have always admired is watching him live his faith.  Seeing him take a knee in prayer (also known as "Tebowing") is such a beautiful example of seeing his faith lived out.

Tim's latest book This Is the Day is a call to action!  To again find our dreams, our passion, and our purpose.

You can feel from the very first page that this book is different.  I instantly grabbed a pen and highlighter because I knew I would find little gems throughout that would speak to me and I was not disappointed.  You can feel just how much Tim poured his heart into this book.  Granted, the ideas given of reclaiming your dreams and re-igniting your passion are nothing new, but they are presented with personal stories of Tim's own journey to living his own purpose, which makes them real, and speaks to you on a very personal and authentic level.

I remember everyone being shocked that Tim wanted to go from playing professional football to minor league baseball and he tells about this choice in the book.  I mean, who does that?  Who chooses to make less money and go into a sport that you haven't done since high school?  Tim Tebow does.  After coming to God in prayer, he realized that his passion was no longer in football but in baseball.  It wasn't about the money.  "It mattered more what was in my heart than what others wanted me to do."  And so he did.  He chose passion.  Tim reminds us that our identity is not what we do but who we are in Jesus and it is something we need to always be reminded of.

This is just one small example that Tim gives us.  This Is the Day is full of stories from his personal life and from his refreshing perspective.  This book is a quick read but it packs a powerful punch.  You feel more like you're conversing with a friend than reading a book which is something I always enjoy.

This Is the Day is a call to action!  It is motivational, uplifting, and a wonderful resource!  Highly recommend!!
