This is the Day: Reclaim Your Dream. Ignite Your Passion. Live Your Purpose.

Tim Tebow. WaterBrook, $25 (224) ISBN 978-0-525-65030-0

Former NFL quarterback Tebow (Shaken) inspires readers to uncover their potential and discover God’s purpose for their lives in this spirited book. Tebow begins with touching and recent stories that explain how his faith and life intertwine, recalling how he helped feed families in the wake of Hurricane Irma in 2017 and giving a gripping account of praying with a woman whose husband went into cardiac arrest during a flight to Phoenix. Tebow explains how focusing on others and being aware of who and what is around at any given moment (much like a top-level quarterback) can help one embrace the present. Made famous by his football career, Tebow also speaks about his latest foray into the world of professional baseball, using the experience to illustrate the power of believing in God’s plan and purpose. Although Tebow’s advice is often pat (“Show up when you can shine light on dark places. Be present whenever you can represent His love”), his stories are truly inspirational. Through his example, Christian readers will be motivated to “believe in a God-sized dream.” [em](Sept.) [/em]
