All Things Possible: My Story of Faith, Football and The Miracle Season Book

All Things Possible by Kurt Warner was an excellent book. The book is an auto biography that follows the amazing life of Kurt Warner, a super bowl MVP quarterback. Warner faced a lot of adversity on his journey to NFL stardom. Whether it was working at a grocery store making five dollars an hour or trying to establish himself as a legitimate quarterback to NFL teams he went through it all. He teaches a overarching lesson in the book that as long as you keep your faith strong there will always be a good outcome. He worked his entire life to make it onto an NFL roster. When he was signed to the Saint Louis Rams he felt like the world was against him, but he stuck it out carrying a positive mindset into every practice. Eventually he was given his chance and took the NFL by storm. A quote I enjoyed from the book is, "Whether I'm a Super Bowl Champion or a regular guy stocking groceries at the Hy-Vee, sharing my faith and glorifying Jesus is the central focus of my time on this earth"(258). I'd like to relate the quote to the essential question, what turning points determine our path to adulthood? He started his career off with very few offers coming out of high school and had to settle with playing at a non division one school. He basically had to go with what life gave him and sometimes taking the best looking opportunities didn't benefit him in the long run. His football career was subpar until he made it to the starting role in the 1999 season. This is when he made a statement in the NFL and took advantage of the opportunity given to him. I'd recommend this book to football fans, no matter what team you like or represent. I would also recommend this to people who enjoy reading about overcoming adversity and watching someone succeed.
