Resumen del Editor

Ernie Johnson, Jr., has been in the game a long time. With one of the most recognized voices in sports broadcasting, he is a tireless perfectionist when it comes to preparing and delivering his commentary. Yet he knows that some of sports' greatest triumphs - and life's greatest rewards - come from those unscripted moments you never anticipated.

In this heartfelt, gripping autobiography, the three-time Sports Emmy Award winner and popular host of TNT's Inside the NBA provides a remarkably candid look at his life both on and off the screen. From his relationship with his sportscaster father to his own rise to the top of sports broadcasting, from battling cancer to raising six children with his wife, Cheryl, including a special needs child adopted from Romania, Ernie has taken the important lessons he learned from his father and passed them on to his own children.

This is the untold story, the one Ernie has lived after the lights are turned off and the cameras stop rolling. Sports fans, cancer survivors, fathers and sons, adoptive parents, those whose lives have been touched by a person with special needs, anyone who loves stories about handling life's surprises with grace - Unscripted is for all of these.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"In Unscripted, you will enjoy some wonderful sports stories, but more than that, you will learn some invaluable life lessons." (Tony Dungy, best-selling author of Quiet Strength)

Get to knw the man behind the scenes.

Ernie Johnson deserves an award for this book. You don't want to miss out on the incredible journey of faith, family and fun that he has been blessed to unpack. to the listener. The life lessons that his dad and wife have taught him are a highlight for sure. What a treat! I was particularly impressed and grateful to have been given the opportunity to hear about his family. The joys and the pains amidst the twists and turns that unexpectedly helped him place his faith in God, the Father. It' is truly satisfying to hear that from a man of integrity and humility. You would have never have guessed it by just hearing his voice, or seeing him on TNT's Inside the NBA. After reading/listening to this book, I have come to recognize that he's a gifted author, writer/poet sportscaster, husband, father and friend. This is a book that I really enjoyed listening to. The audible narration is loud and clear. He keeps his emotions in check. Even though there are some truly heartfelt moments where you want to shed a tear. The way he thrills you with those important milestones in his life. And how he inspires you as you read is amazing in its own right. To God be the glory. There's nothing crass, immature or off putting in his book. He simply tells it like it is. Finally, "Unscripted: The Unpredictable Moments That Make Life Extraordinary is a "blackberry moment" that should not be missed. Great job, Ernie!

Beautiful and inspiring.

This is such an amazing story. Thank you for providing it for us. I am so inspired.

Read this book!

My husband and myself listened to this book because we loved Ernie’s voice. I am in a book club and picked this booked because I fell in a deep appreciation for Ernie’s personality while watching Inside The NBA with my husband. We found our own Blackberry moments while listening to this book. We knew we were right where God wanted us to be, because while listening to this book, my husband had to have a surgery that was in his facial parotid gland (something similar happened to Ernie and he spoke of it, in the book) and the tears just flowed from our eyes. The way Ernie shared his story about his health, is helping my husband get through his journey.

I’m so happy I had that nudge from God to pick this book and we will continue to look for blackberry moments.

The GOAT

You wont find a better man than Ernie Johnson. A selfless, giving, caring, loving human. He should be everyones goal. Him reading the book makes it incredible. A Book that will change your perspective on whats important. I look for every "blackberry moment"i can now. Worth every second of your time to listen.

EJ Jrs inspiration

this book was inspiring, down to earth, and i wish i still had 15 chapters left to read.

Required read/listen for all men

The more I listen to and get to know the man behind the bow tie, the more I admire him. This book demonstrates the importance of humility, integrity, and finding joy whenever and wherever one can. All people can appreciate the life lessons gleaned from this book, but as a man, as a dad, I found it to be especially valuable. Loved that he narrated his own book.

Act of kindness

Loved the story from start to finish! Would recommend this short story about his life!

A must listen!

If you can listen to Ernie's life experience and not be moved or inspired, something's wrong.
