DENVER (BP)--With two older brothers, football was a commonplace work for Tim Tebow when he was a child. "One of us would have fun quarterback, while the other two would confront off against each other, with one as a receiver and the other the defensive back assigned to inundate him," Tebow writes in his untrained book, "Through My Eyes." "We didn’t have a set status that we played to, but rather played until we got called to school, to achievement or eat, until someone got hurt, until we got into a one-on-one with one another, or it got so joyless that we in the end could not endure well enough to play." That’s just one behind-the-scenes assertion that Tebow, quarterback for the Denver Broncos and fellow of First Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Fla., relates in his original book, co-written with Nathan Whitaker and released May 31 by HarperCollins.
As of June 9, the tome was 15th on Amazon’s bestseller list. "It’s about my life, from before I was born, all the headway up to my foremost year in the NFL and all things in between," Tebow said in a Florida Times-Union story. "It’s a lot of refreshing stuff. Some of it is stories that have been told, but also what isn’t told. There’s a lot of creations in there that ESPN doesn’t report, just thoughts of mine before big games and unconventional stories that settle wouldn’t conscious unless they were hand there with me.

"More than anything, I yearning the list encourages kids and helps them conclude their dreams." Tebow writes about his mother’s troubled pregnancy with him, which some doctors said could have resulted in her death. But she chose to present Tebow to term. "God’s peace, she later told me, is what continued her through the pain, bleeding, and uncertainty of the next eight months of her pregnancy," Tebow writes.
Tebow writes about his observation being homeschooled and how he dealt with dyslexia. He tells about his mania for sports from a puerile age, the handle of being recruited for college, stories from his playing days as a Florida Gator where he became the chief sophomore ever to overcome the Heisman Trophy, and about getting treated for the NFL draft. "As I barrow my story, I longing that you will interview that its accurate cynosure is on God and on those unceasing values that He holds before us as beacons and benchmarks, to hand us persist lives of surplus that will last analysis lionize Him, while also lifting and bettering the lives of His children everywhere," Tebow writes in the book’s preface. Kevin Brockway, a sportswriter at the Gainesville (Fla.) Sun, gave the libretto a utilitarian review.
"In all, Tebow portrays a material explanation of his flavour that doesn’t come across as too preachy or self-indulgent," Brockway writes. "Christians will profit from the order for the lessons Tebow tries to convey. Football fans will derive pleasure the ticket for its behind-the-scenes access.
It’s not a words that will exchange your life, but ‘Through My Eyes’ is obviously a powerful read." --30-- Tim Ellsworth is rewrite man of BPSports, on the Web at www.bpsports.net. He also is overseer of info and media relations for Union University in Jackson, Tenn.
