Tim Tebow - Shaken: Discovering Your True Identity In The Midst Of Life’s Storms

Tim Tebow is not an athleteathlete is what Tim fills in on his tax return. That does not begin to tell the story of who he is. Tim is a role model, an inspiration to those who have a dream and are willing to accept life as a journey full of ups and downs.

Shaken shows us a side of Tim Tebow that weve never gotten to see before. In this book, Tim comes alongside his reader and says, Ive been there too, and proceeds to show us how God is faithful even when our entire lives feel shaken to the core.

M ARK B ATTERSON, pastor and New York Times best-selling author of The Circle Maker

Tim is a remarkable example of one who combines strength and boldness with kindness and compassion, and Im always encouraged to hear of how he is using his tremendous platform to share the love and truth of our Lord with those who need it most.

R AVI Z ACHARIAS, apologist, author, and president of RZIM

Tim has always inspired me with his dedication to grow and improve in all aspects of life, especially his faith. With this book, Tim encourages readers to keep moving and stay strong while battling lifes obstacles.

Whether or not youve followed Tims career, Shaken speaks to something weve all had to deal withtrusting God when the plans for our lives dont work out as we expected. Tim shares his journey from the Broncos to the Jets to the Patriots and beyond with refreshing honesty. He comes alongside us as a friend and gives us hope for the days our lives take an unexpected turn. I am so grateful to call Tim my friend; his life and passion constantly inspire me! Whatever Tim does he does with all his heart, and this book reflects that incredible commitment! I love Tim, and by the end of this book, you will too!

J UDAH S MITH, lead pastor of the City Church and New York Times best-selling author of Jesus Is _______.

Shaken is everyones story. All of us know what it is to experience the best of days and the lowest of days. For Tim, hes lived those days in public. I have the privilege to call Tim my friend and can tell you that with him, what you see is what you get, which seems rare these days! I appreciate how real and raw Tim is with his own struggles. In Shaken you will find great encouragement for your own life and faith.

To the two best things in my life:

Jesus, the greatest gift I ever received.

My family. The thing about family is that you dont get to pick them. But if I could, Id choose every one of you. I love you, Mom, Dad, Christy, Katie, Robby, and Peter!

I m grateful for the life experiences Ive hadthe good, the bad, and the ugly. Sure, Ive had my ups and downs. As Ive done things a little bit differently, the world has tried to force me onto a roller coaster of identities, defining me by my circumstances and not who I really am.

Was my identity found in the highs when I won the Heisman and later when the Denver Broncos were making a play-off run? No. Was my identity found when, a year later, I was cut? No.

One day, according to the world, Im on top of my game, adored, praised, and respected. And the next, Im at the bottom of the heap, cut, criticized, and torn down. You know what Ive learned in the process? How important it is not to allow either the highs or the lows in life to determine who you are.

Its tempting to define ourselves or to measure our worth by the externalby how much money we have, by how we look, by the applause of others. The list is long. Think about this. Who are you when everything is going greatwhen the money is in the bank, when your home life is peaceful, when your future seems certain? And who are you when your world is shakenwhen your bank account is overdrawn, when your relationship is on the fritz, when you havent a clue what tomorrow holds? Sometimes it takes a challenging time to really find out.
