Reviews

[Bob Allen · Rating 4 out of 5]

52 daily devotions on biblical principles of achieving one's potential. Dungy introduces each devotion with a pertinent Bible verse and closes with a suggestion on how to implement. Occasionally, Dungy tilts toward self–help that could be found in any secular book. But, the vast majority of the book focuses on biblical perspectives. Perhaps the best thing for me is to read a book like this from a "layman".

[Steve Campbell · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book contains inspirational nuggets from a successful football coach and committed Christian. As you might expect, Dungy uses many football illustrations to illustrate biblical truth, but he also displays some depth in going beyond football as well. Each devotional entry is short but thought provoking. This is a good book for helping men slow down and reflect on their lives.

This was a nice collection of thoughts. Well written and thought out.

I know this man from my church ⛪and he is an inspiration to me daily and he is for real! I have read his other books and have given them to family and friends. I just wish I could have met him earlier in my life and been able to follow the path he has shown so many people. Makes me wish I was a football player who trained with him. Who knows how my life could have been better.
