Rating: Summary: Pity the Fools Review: Kurt Warner is an outspoken Christian, and not everyone appreciates that. However, this book demonstrates that faith in a higher power can lead someone to unimaginable heights. As a St. Louis football fan, I remember the sinking feeling we all had when Trent Green was injured. I watched in amazement as our second-string quarterback not only rose to the occasion, but proved himself to be the best there ever was. I am proud that my city is the home of both Kurt and Mark McGwire. In this era of the "National Felony League", Kurt Warner is a bona fide role model. Non-believers will scoff, but I say that part of God's plan was to put this talented man on top as a message. Anyone can be great, and without having to sacrifice character.
Rating: Summary: Incredible Perseverance, Incredible Story! Review: The one thought that kept coming to my mind as I read about Kurt's circuitous path to NFL stardom and the various setbacks along the way was: "Man! THIS is where I would have given up!" This inspiring first-person account of Kurt's high school and college career, the rejection by the Packers, the humbling supermarket job to make ends meet, the Arena League, NFL Europe, the last-place Rams, and finally the "Story Book Season" was amazing enough. Intertwined in Kurt's amazing story is the equally amazing story of Kurt's wife Brenda and her children, her son's freak accident, her divorce, meeting Kurt, living on food stamps, the death of her parents. Through it all, they grew in their faith in God. If ever there was a story that validated Romans 8:28, it would have to be this one. Kurt represents all that is execellent in the NFL today. The NFL needs more Kurt Warners!
Rating: Summary: All Things Possible Review: This book is a must have for any and all fans, If you've ever had a doubt about where this man came from and where he's going this book will answer it . A true "Cinderella story" in modern day sports, This book shows why this man is capable of even greater performances in the future, I loved it !
