Shaken by Tim Tebow

First of all, this book has been a blessing to me. ‘Shaken’ is a faith-based book written by Tim Tebow, a former professional American football quarterback and current baseball outfielder. But that’s not all there is to the guy. Tim is an unashamed Christian, who is intentional about living his life for God (yaay!) In ‘Shaken’, Tim talks about his highs and lows in his sport career. He talks about his understanding that all of these do not define him still. He writes: ‘it is easy to think you know who you are when your life seems perfect’ (I know this too well). In his book, Tim also shares the complications that come with having one’s life in the public eye.

I loved how he shared stories of the young people he had encountered in his ‘Tim Tebow foundation’. These young men and women have disabilities and life threatening conditions, yet, they’ve been able to look beyond those physical conditions and glorify God with their lives. Not only is this amazing, it is also challenging. I also felt very blessed to read about his experiences in prison ministry and it just reminded me that it’s truly amazing what God can do with our ‘little’. My only challenge while reading this book, AND THIS IS PECULIAR TO ME, was that Tim talked a ton about the American NFL & baseball (obviously because he’s a sportsman). For the life of me, I’m clueless about anything that is not normal soccer,much less things that have to do with ‘touch downs or rushing yards on carriers’😂. I will understand these sporty terminologies someday but for now, this area is not my forte. And this Ibadan girl is unashamed in her ignorance. ** All that being said, I do recommend this beautiful book to anyone who’s truly looking to live a life as unto God. Personally, these are my kind of books. Thank you Tim for using your life and status to bring Christ to this generation.
