Don't underestimate belief in a higher power....

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.

Nice guys finish first

An easy and enjoyable read; not a Hemmingway or Vonnegut by any stretch but it certainly tells a compelling story. I told people to draft Kurt Warner for their fantasy teams when he became the starter for the Rams because I had seen him play (in person) for the Iowa Barnstormers and his accuracy was unreal. I already knew a lot of his background but the book really examines in detail the hardships Kurt faced and the perserverance and faith he possessed on this wild ride. Simply put, Kurt Warner's story is a story for the ages and possibly the greatest underdog sports story of all time. What he did in 1999 and early 2000 is almost incomprehensible but he did it, and the NFL will never be the same. Plus, he is a genuinely nice guy. Sometimes nice guys do finish first.

This Story Has The Things That Dreams Are Made Of

After reading this book, I truly do believe that all things are possible. Kurt Warner has a truly remarkable story to tell.In All Things Possible, I knew the final outcome. Unless you live in a cave, eveyone knew that Kurt Warner had a super season, capped off with a Super Bowl victory, picking up the game's MVP award. However, this book did more than go behind the scenes of that incredible season. It introduced us to Kurt Warner, the person.He has had one incredible life. In this book, he touches upon everything, from his personal life struggles to being cut by the Green Bay Packers and having to work at a supermarket. We also meet his family, including his wonderful wife, Brenda. His story is one of overcomming seemingly unbeatable odds. Warner was constantly having to battle serious problems that always seemed to be hurled at him at the most difficult times. He never gave up, and his faith in the higher power is one that should not be taken lightly.In this book, Warner is incredibly candid and does not hold anything back. He is straightforward and always honest. He hides nothing, and that is what truly makes this book an inspirational and enjoyable read. The personal stories add feeling and sometimes humor to the wonderfully written account of him and his family. All Things Possible has something for everybody, including a nice romance in the background. His marriage proposal still brings a smile to my face. Kurt Warner tells his interesting story in a straightforward, yet nicely detailed language that allows you to keep turning pages as fast as he racks up passing yards. This book is more than just another athlete's story. It serves as an inspiration to keep pursuing your dream, whatever that may be, by believing in yourself. Any, if not all, things are possible.

Incredible Perseverance, Incredible Story!

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!

Fun Reading, with a message

Couldn't put this book down. From his youth team, to the Superbowl, Kurt describes how God had a plan. Even knowing that the Rams had won the superbowl, you want to keep turning the pages to find out what God has in store for him next. The book introduces you to Kurt Warner as a person, not just a football superstar. Honest testimony about how hard it is to stay focused during tests (being cut, frustration about not starting, surviving Amsterdam, hanging around Iowa with no clear football plan) in his life. It was entertaining and education to read about real world examples of Christianity in practice - on and off the field.
