I Feel Like Going On

Life, Game, and Glory

De: Ray Lewis, Daniel Paisner

Narrado por: JD Jackson

Ray Lewis, legendary Baltimore Ravens linebacker and one of the greatest defensive players of his generation, holds nothing back on the state of football as well as his troubled childhood, his rise to athletic greatness, the storm that threatened to ruin his NFL career, and the devastating injury that nearly cost him a final moment of glory.

A lot of folks, they know my game, but they don't know my deal. This audiobook right here, it tells the story of my 17-year NFL career. It tells of my two Super Bowls, the mark I was blessed to be able to make on the game, on the city of Baltimore. But it also tells the story of how I grew up - abandoned by my no-account father, raised with my siblings by our God-fearing, hardworking single mother. It tells how I sometimes struggled off the field. It tells of the anguish and controversy that found me away from the game.

Mostly it tells how heartbreak can sometimes lift you to greatness and glory - if you find a way to put your focus on faith and faith in your focus.

When I left the game, confetti raining down on my teammates and me after winning the Super Bowl, I made a promise to myself to show how the game is really played at the highest level. That's what you'll find in this audio - a raw, honest look at the business of football and a look behind the scenes at some of the most torturous aspects of the game. The grind of the NFL - that's what shines through.

My deal? That grind is a given. Every player who wears an NFL uniform has to slog through the same battles just to get to the league. But it's how you prepare for those battles that defines you - and here I hope to show how an unwavering trust in God and an unbreakable sense of purpose can lift you from tragedy to triumph. From strength to strength, man - that's the deal.

Kudos

The narrator excellent. Whole new respect for Ray Lewis. Not just a football player, but as a man.

Totally real!

Ray Lewis is a true representation of competitor and leader. I highly recommend this book.

Awesome book+ brilliant narrating !

Great book and great narrator, literally felt like Ray Lewis was reading this book through the narrator

So many emotions!

I love Ray Lewis, so I’m probably a little biased. But hearing his story made me respect him too. I literally went through all the emotions a human can feel. I even cried. Many parts just really hit home for me. Thank you Ray Lewis for sharing your story, in your own words. The only thing I would have changed, was that I like it when the actual person narrates. Don’t get me wrong, the narrator was great. Just would rather heard Mr. Lewis’s voice.

Must read

Loved it. Amazing touching story, hugely inspiring and brilliantly read. Top 10 books I've read

Good book until the end

Book was very enjoyable until the end when the book focused on race instead of accomplishment.

Awesome

Awesome!!!! I truly enjoyed & my children even listened. I will definitely listen to again.

Promise Kept!

Baby Ray’s story of poverty, pain, perseverance, performance and God’s mercy inspires me although I’m not an athlete. As a mother of two sons and a woman trying to make her mark I was moved to tears and prays at five different points in Ray’s retelling of his childhood struggles and his expedience with the justice system. Most of all, I am reminded to keep God first in my life. Thanks Ray Lewis for your sacrifice.

Very good and insightful,

very good and useful, learned a lot about a great man and competitor, a little political at the end but understandable for the time that he wrote it in. overall very good book

Great Book!!

An inspiring book that will make a difference in a society struggling with an identity crisis. Ray Lewis tells his story of never quiting on himself or his dreams. I highly recommend this book.
