NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • ECPA BESTSELLER •

Who are you when life is steady? Who are you when storms come?

“With this book, Tim encourages readers to keep moving and stay strong while battling life’s obstacles.”—Cam Newton, quarterback for the Carolina Panthers

Most of us have been on the receiving end of rejection, a broken dream, or heartbreak. And while this is not an easy space to go through, when we are grounded in the truth, we can endure the tough times.

In this powerful book, Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow passionately shares glimpses of his journey staying grounded in the face of disappointment, criticism, and intense media scrutiny.

Tebow talks about what he’s learned along the way, building confidence in his identity in God, not the world. This moving book also features practical wisdom from Scripture and insights gained from others who have impacted him in life-changing ways.

Critic reviews

"“Tim Tebow is not an athlete—athlete is what Tim fills in on his tax return. That does not begin to tell the story of who he is. Tim is a role model, an inspiration to those who have a dream and are willing to accept life as a journey full of ups and downs.”—Jon Bon Jovi, singer-songwriter

Shaken shows us a side of Tim Tebow that we’ve never gotten to see before. In this book, Tim comes alongside his reader and says, ‘I’ve been there too,’ and proceeds to show us how God is faithful even when our entire lives feel shaken to the core.”—Mark Batterson, pastor and New York Times bestselling author of The Circle Maker

“Whether or not you’ve followed Tim’s career, Shaken speaks to something we’ve all had to deal with—trusting God when the plans for our lives don’t work out as we expected. Tim shares his journey from the Broncos to the Jets to the Patriots and beyond with refreshing honesty. He comes alongside us as a friend and gives us hope for the days our lives take an unexpected turn. I am so grateful to call Tim my friend; his life and passion constantly inspire me! Whatever Tim does he does with all his heart, and this book reflects that incredible commitment! I love Tim, and by the end of this book, you will too!”—Judah Smith, lead pastor of the City Church and New York Times bestselling author of Jesus Is

Inspirational and authentic

Really good book, focusing not on his accomplishments on the gridiron but rather some very tragic events and some of his failures. It is sad in parts but ultimately inspiring. Tebow has his critics but no one can doubt that he is authentic and focused on a much larger picture than football. Book details some real heroes struggling with afflictions or situations that would break most people, but the book is also about perspective for dealing with those situations. Undoubtedly he and some of the people in the book will have a true legacy that far outlives some of the legacies of the famous athletes and entertainers that are held up so high in this day and age.

The narration was good, but I would have preferred to have Tebow himself narrate it. I highly recommend this book.

Tim Tebow has touched my heart and mind!

Would you consider the audio edition of Shaken to be better than the print version?

Right now I only have the audio version, but do plan on purchasing the printed version to have for future reference.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Tim Tebow. His ability to relate to different discouraging events in everyone's lives was incredible.

Have you listened to any of Fred Berman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

There were so many instances that I thought he was talking to me or my child it's hard to choose just one that moved me. His ability to relay his experiences is amazing and captivating.

Any additional comments?

I listened to this book every morning on my way to work and every evening on my way home. It was difficult for me to stop listening when I would arrive at my destination...this is truly that kind of book. There were so many times that I felt like he was speaking directly to me. The real life struggles that he has gone through and his ability to endure and rise above the difficulties gives me encouragement.

Tim Scores a Touchdown for God!

Where does Shaken rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I have to honestly rank it in my top 10 listens so far! Tim's words, feelings, and openness for sharing his heart check all my boxes!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Shaken?

When I read/listen to a book, I don't notice stand out moments, so I would have to say the whole book was memorable for me.

What about Fred Berman’s performance did you like?

Fred's voice was welcoming and pleasant to listen to. Some books I have tried to listen to have had narrators who sound like digital voices of robots, or there is no tone or emotion in their voice. I initially thought it was was Tim reading!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

If I had had the time to do so, it would have been nice, but then, I had something to look forward to everyday when I drove to work, so it worked out great.

Any additional comments?

I am a lover of books about religion and spirituality, so this book was a welcome read. I only knew of Tim through the football games, and especially when he was being picked on for displaying his faith on the field. At the time, I was disappointed at the football league and his fellow players for this, and felt much respect for him for not bowing down to the "image" he was expected to maintain. After he left football and really went to work sharing his faith journey, I became a fan and looked forward to hearing what he had to say.

Worth the Purchase

The content is engaging and thought provoking. I just wish that the author read the book, but the reader was pretty good though.

Good book

Tim's struggles are different than mine, but we share the same underlying theme(rejection, etc). He uses the same Christian principals to recover. Christ is the answer. Glad I read the book.

Personal, moral responsibility changes world.

World peace begins within and proceeds from knowing the Prince of Peace. Tebow shares his story as well as the stories of others in battling the Giants of the mind.
