Tim Tebow's Shaken: Fighting to Stand Strong No Matter What Comes Your Way is written for young people to find a better way
to live.
Using examples from his own
tumultuous career, Tebow encourages readers to stay focused on their dreams,
fight negativity, and stand up for what is right. And while the resource is
focused on Christian principles, the lessons concentrating on hard work,
determination, and kindness hold universal appeal. Tebow additionally draws
upon examples of other young people who have faced adversity -- cancer, limb
amputation, and organ failure -- as cases of how even in the most desperate
situations, one can refuse to fall into self-pity, anger, and depression. Tebow's
easy, plainspoken style will give young fans the feeling that he is speaking
directly to them. Biblical examples range from the steadfast endurance of Job
to the selfless courage of David facing Goliath. Other stories include
references to Michael Jordan and Albert Einstein. Tebow's candid talk of his
struggles with dyslexia and anger further humanize him.
This is an excellent book for older children and young adults.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
