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.

Great uplifting book!

Great man and very inspiring story! His advice to give it all to the Lord is splendid!

The ultimate role model for your son

Bought the audio book to share with my 14 year old son. Turns out we both loved it and are amazed what a guy can accomplish with the right mind set and vales. HIGHLY reccomend this book.

Somewhere he is out there

What made the experience of listening to Through My Eyes the most enjoyable?

Its a personal journey however I think it was enhanced for me because I had no prior knowledge of Tim's college career.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Through My Eyes?

There are many memorable moments built around a theme of determination and belief in yourself, and of course belief in a higher being.

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

No

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Time for a cliche, it is extremely thought provoking. It brought forward both questions of religion and self confidence and inspired me to pursue both more fervently.

Any additional comments?

I would very highly recommend this book to anyone!

Lots of play by play

I enjoyed listening to this book. Tim is obviously a special guy and he has a great story, however this book had way too much "play by play" descriptions of foorball games. I was interested in Tim's story because of his religious convictions and wanted to hear his entire story. As I said, I enjoyed the listen but had hoped for more personal stuff and less "I moved to the right and hit the wide receiver at the 20".

Inspiring Individual, Discouraging Narrator

Would you try another book from Tim Tebow and Nathan Whitaker and/or Tom Wayland?

Probably.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Tom Wayland?

Most definately. This is above his ability. Although the narrator had a youthful voice, his ability to communicate the same level of emotional intelligence and fun-loving humor of the writer was greatly lacking. I almost gave up on listening, because of the poor narration, several times throughout my listening experience.

This should be re-recorded. Making this point is the main purpose of my review.

Do you think Through My Eyes needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Let's let the young man live a little bit more, ya' think? Most of his actions are playing out on the national stage at the moment.

Tebow fan

Being a Florida Gator and Jacksonville native, it was with anticipation that I read Tim Tebow's story. Our youngest is the same age as Tim and competed against him when he played at Trinity. We thoroughly enjoyed listening to his story and as Christians, appreciated that he kept true to his faith in telling his story. Our disappointment was in the performance. The individual reading the story mispronounced many of the Florida city names which was disappointing. If you're going to read a book, be sure to know the names in the story.

Thank you for including this in Audible.

Awesome book, even if you aren't a Gator fan.

Motivating, exciting, authentic and humble. Tim Tebow is the real thing. His faith shows through.

Love Tebow

Great book and very inspirational and motivational! Keep the great books coming Timmy - you’re awesome!

Excellent Listen

Tim has shown the world he is not a quitter. He also knows what he wants and goes and gets it. At first I thought what could be said about someone who is only in his mid twenties. Boy was I wrong. He has done and accomplished so much and has inspired others that I can't wait to see what happens next as he heads off to the NFL. The NFL needs more men like him as players and coaches so that our youth have solid role models.

Amazingly inspiring

Wow
I just cannot believe what an inspirational book this has been. I recommend everyone to read or listen to it.
Thanks Mr Tebow
