Through My Eyes

By: Tim Tebow, Nathan Whitaker

Narrated by: Tom Wayland

Length: 10 hrs and 17 mins

Publisher's summary

Over the course of the last five years, Tim Tebow has established himself as one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of college football and a top prospect in the NFL. During that time, he amassed an unparalleled resume - winning two BCS national championships; becoming the first sophomore in NCAA history to win the Heisman trophy; and in the face of massive public scrutiny, being drafted in the first round of the NFL draft by the Denver Broncos.

Now, in Through My Eyes, Tebow brings listeners everywhere an inspirational memoir about life as he chose to live it, revealing how his faith and family values, combined with his relentless will to succeed, have molded him into the person that he is today. As the son of Christian missionaries, Tebow has a unique story to tell - from the circumstances of his birth, to his home-schooled roots, to his record-setting collegiate football career with the Florida Gators and everything else that took place in between.

At every step, Tebow's life has defied convention and expectation. While aspects of his life have been well-documented, the stories have always been filtered through the opinions and words of others. Through My Eyes is his passionate, firsthand, never-before-told account of how it all really happened.

very helpful

our gator nation family has always followed tim tebow and i was thrilled to get his book and found it very helpful in terms of explaining how to walk in faith, and not be down on yourself but look for the positives. i also appreciated the game insights. many games that i saw and remembered the plays and he explained the behind the scenes circumstances. also, he was unable to beat our mighty mighty home team, the st. augustine yellow jackets, at any time in his high school career, so i like that he admitted what a downer that was! i loved this book!!!

uplifting inspiring

Great book Tim. There are a lot of inspirational points in this book that I will and remember, but my first take away is "start strong and finish strong". Gator alumni. Go Gators

Informative and encouraging!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I highly recommend this book to get a look into the life of a very interesting young man.

What did you like best about this story?

Although there were times when all the detail behind each play/game seemed boring, it provided a foundation for the story. I enjoyed learning about his family and the role they played in his life and how a 'homeschooled' young man has grown to be a light in the ever darkening wold of pro sports.

Any additional comments?

I read this book for one reason. To learn more about the young quarterback who seems to be in the news weekly and sometimes daily. I am not a sports 'nut' but I enjoy reading about a success story of a young man who is making a positive difference in the sporting (entertainment) industry. Too often stars in the sport world are horrible role models filled with self pride and are very arrogant. This young man is setting a good example and is destined to be a great role model for young aspiring athletes.

Better than expected

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. In a day when few men want to make any sacrifices to be a role model, it is truly inspiring to hear the thoughts of a man who values his relationship with Christ over the temptations of the world. Although not a perfect man, Tebows character is one that I am sure will inspire many.

Any additional comments?

The narration was a bit slow at the start but later I got really into it and didn;t want to turn it off.

Great story coupled with a strong Christianity bas

Great story coupled with a strong Christianity base. This book is definitely a must read for young leadership. he gives a blue print on how to be a follower of Christ and being in sports too.

Great overall book.

Before I didn’t know much about Tim Tebow only from what I heard on TV. Going into this book with an open mind I came out very happy I listened to it. I have listened to it a couple times and find inspiration and motivation to work harder in my own life.

Great story, but issues with the telling

Tim Tebow has one of the greatest stories of any pro athlete. That story carries both the book and its narration, and makes this book well worth hearing/reading. However, the book needed a good deal more editing; much of it seems like someone recorded Tim telling his story, and just transcribed what he said. In addition, the narrator was a poor choice. While his cadence was similar to Tim's, he was obviously unfamiliar with many key football and theological terms, and butchered the pronunciations.

Wanted to love it!

The narration on his books is horrible! I really wanted to hear it, but it sounds so hokey. please get someone else to do the narration on all his books!

Great Story

If you could sum up Through My Eyes in three words, what would they be?

What a story

Tim and his families passion for God

Which scene was your favorite?

The family together time in NYC leading to the Heisman Trophy ceremony

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

YES!!!

Any additional comments?

This book challenged me to seek God with all my heart for the riches in living life His way. I love the faithfulness of the Tebow parents and Tim's as he grew up and attended college. With all the distractions/fame/success he still stayed focus on the lord. God was always faithful. Many lives have and will be impacted through this young man - and because of his parents faithfulness in how to live life - for Christ

great book

This was a great book I knew his story but this book gave new light on his life
