I've read Game Changer, and as a youth worker and teacher I feel that the message that this book conveys could not be more timely. This book inspires young men and women to look outside of themselves to the God of the universe for strength and wisdom. It encourages them to make great choices in life, even when it goes against what everyone else is doing. It helps them to see clearly that good choices bring good consequences and bad choices bring bad consequences. We need messages like this one, and I am thankful that Kirk Cousins took the time to deliver it.
A great book for fathers and sons to read and share. One good story after another about Kirk, his exploits, challenges, and how his faith in Jesus guided his performance both on and off the field. An excellent book for young people finding their way, and also a great book for parents. Kirk didn't become the admirable young man he is by accident - a bright young man and strong family, both nuclear and community, and Game Changer does a wonderful job of chronicling the journey. Couldn't put it down. Look forward to "Game Changer II" someday! In the meantime, Go Redskins!...and Kirk!
Great life lessons and stories to learn from. Knowing that not everyone who will read this is going to be an elite college quarterback, but applying these lessons to your every day life will help. He has a strong relationship with God, but does not force his beliefs onto you. Remarkable young man to do what he has accomplished so far just by putting his faith in the Lord.
Kirk Cousin's book is one of the best written! He is truly a role model for all ages. Kirk is an inspiring young man that lives his message and has embraced his family, friends, teammates and God. His book will definitely be on the best seller list. A quick read with a life changing impact. Thank you Kirk!
Excellent read. So nice to have a professional athlete that makes God a priority. As a Spartan fan, I was excited to see that Kirk wrote a book. In an age where athletes are continuously focusing on themselves and making terrible decisions, it is nice to know there are ones with morals and that can be good role models. Highly recommend this book especially for adolescents that are starting to make life changing decisions. But a great read for all.
I bought this for my Grandson`s and reviewed it. I believe it will change their lives. Kirk Cousins is a role model of faith, and lifestyle that our youth need. May God Bless this book and may it change lives.
So the season is over for the Washington Redskins and for Kirk Cousins, it was over a month or so early as he was pulled from action in lieu of Robert Griffin III and Colt McCoy. Oddly enough, Iâve read books about each of them in the past year or two also. But in reading GAME CHANGER, it is clear that Cousins is going to be okay, whether heâs benched or starting. He obviously strives to start and succeed in the NFL, but he lives with a purpose and vision beyond the gridiron lines, gatorade showers, and screaming fans.For such a young guy, heâs already experienced a lifetime of challenges, failures, and successes, as well as plenty of twists and turns along the way. However, through it all, Cousins keeps his focus on the bigger game plan. In GAME CHANGER, Cousins shares his journey, offers inspiration through his story, and passes along helpful advice for others, regardless of their current situation. This is a helpful book for younger readers - maybe 10-18 years old - looking for identity, success, and help along the way.And hey, today is New Years Eve (as I write this), so what better time than the beginning of a new year to read through an inspiring tale to get you ready to tackle (pun intended) those resolutions in the coming months.
An interesting story about an unlikely NFL draftee. Sportswriters said he didn't even deserve to be drafted ... especially behind RG III.But Kirk's character shines through as the perfect model for our kids and other NFL players. (God knows, they need a good role model.)And remember, Kirk's performance (he lead them to a win) when RG III was hurt was so outstanding, the Redskins were able to make the playoffs. Some say a little too many biblical references but hey, those are the ones who probably need it the most.A good read.
