I got the original edition of Through My Eyes the day it came out and I read it cover to cover in one sitting. It was a great story and a great read. When I saw that a young readers edition would be out in time for Christmas I ordered a copy for my nephew ~ who loves to read and is a huge Tebow fan. I expected this version to be more simplified than it was. In fact I didn't see much of a difference at all. I recommend getting the original.
Bought for my 10 year old son who loves sports and asked me for this book for Christmas because he knows Tim is a Christian, How wonderful to have real life role models in society for our chidren to look up too, so lacking these days.Thank you Tim for your example!
I am not sure why people are rating this book so low just because they didn't realize it was the youth version of the original book. This is skewing the rating that this book should get! If they did a simple search for "Through My Eyes" or even "Tim Tebow" both versions show up and if you look at both books it is very easy to determine which one is the adult version.I have read both and this version is an excellent read for any young athlete. A great combination of sports, faith, and family stories. His dedication and drive to be the best that he can be is an inspiration to all youth, not just athletes.
I will be purchasing several copies of this book to give as Christmas gifts and to the school library. What an inspirational, motivating book. Tim Tebow is a wonderful example of a Christian man on many levels. The book is backed with many Bible verses. It his given me the opportunity to share my faith when I was seen with this book. Through My Eyes
"A young man of conviction", arrives on center stage, and has America totally baffled. He can't possibly be serious in his love for God, but HE IS.....he lets people know that God has blessed him with an ability, and he performs as best as he is able, to the glory of God. What you see in Tebow, is what he really is, a man of God who just happens to play football...very well in fact.
We accidentally ordered the Young Reader's Edition like many others, but that just means we bought two copies of the book! LOL My husband is reading the regular version, and I read this one. This one was definitely written with younger readers in mind, but by no means did it take away from the storyline and impactful life of this young man. If you ordered this one by mistake, take that as God's cue to give it to a young reader in your life!
In this young readers edition, Tim Tebow tells his story of growing up, playing college football, and fulfilling his dream of becoming an NFL quarterback.I read this book as I watched Tim Tebow lead the Denver Broncos as they beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in a wild card game. In the first, and final, play of overtime, Tim connect with Demaryius Thomas on an 80-yard touchdown pass for the quickest ending to an NFL overtime. That play demonstrated what Tim talks about in his book...working hard and finishing strong. He never let up in the game, and he never gives up in life.Tim Tebow is an inspiration to many, and this book will encourage young athletes to do their best as they play with integrity. I am glad that there is a professional athlete who is a good role model. So many professional athletes are not, but Tebow breaks the mold.Zondervan has provided me a free copy of this book in exchange for my review which I freely give.
Bought this for my eight year old son, and he really enjoyed reading it. My son was excited to share what he was reading. The story does a great job of giving examples of making God-centered decisions to young readers.
