The World Does Not Define You! Nobody said your life would be easy. And the older you get, the more difficult it seems to become. Deep down you may know your value as a person isn't defined by wearing cool name-brand clothes, scoring points for a sports team, or even by having a huge number of social media followers. And you're right! Your identity resides in something--in fact, Someone--much greater than anything this world can offer:
The only identity worth having...is found in Jesus Christ!
American sports icon, Tim Tebow knows firsthand what it's like to face pressure head-on. In Know Who You Are. Live Like It Matters, he shares the wisdom he's learned--not from what the world says, but from what God says in His Word.
Tim will guide you through thirty-six weeks of lessons, each based on a key Scripture, to discover who you are--by learning more about whose you are! You will also have the opportunity to write down your thoughts, feelings, and ideas on topics such as: * Building godly character * Maintaining great relationships * Standing out from the crowd * Doing things that matter in the big picture
Get ready to live bigger than ever before...with your faith and identity secured in a God who loves you beyond measure!
Why would a woman who hates sports take this book for her children? Because, whether you hate or love football—Tim Tebow stands for something and I admire that. I felt that my children could learn something from this book and the fact that it is written for homeschoolers made it icing on the cake.
I was surprised by how much I liked this book. Though geared towards young adults, I appreciated the book and will definitely re-read it when my girls start the lesson plan. It includes thirty-six lessons which are broken down into four parts. Tim gives an example of how the lesson applied to his life and then provides inspirational scriptures and writing prompts.
One thing that I really appreciated is that Tim encouraged the parents to not treat this book as graded material. The point of this book is to encourage and uplift homeschoolers in their spiritual life more than it is meant to be used as a textbook course.
This was a fantastic book and I would honestly read books by Tim Tebow again in the future.
About Tim Tebow
Tim Tebow is one of the most accomplished players in college football history. A two-time winner of the NCAA National Football Championship with the University of Florida, Tim is also the first-ever sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy. He then went on to become a two-time winner of the Maxwell Award for the nation’s top football player, while also winning the Davey O’Brien Award for the nation’s best college quarterback and the James E. Sullivan Award for the most outstanding amateur athlete in any sport. He is the founder of the Tim Tebow Foundation which was started to bring faith, hope, and love to those needing a brighter day in the darkest hour of need, and in April 2010, Tim was selected in the first round of the NFL Draft by the Denver Broncos. He lives in Colorado.
I’m glad you liked this book. I’ve heard a lot of really great things about his books.
I’m like you, I don’t care for football, but I admire Tim Tebow and his inner strength.
That’s cool that he wrote this book for homeschoolers!
