About this title

Review:

After being cut by the Green Bay Packers during training camp in 1994, Kurt Warner found himself working the graveyard shift at the Hy-Vee grocery store in Cedar Falls, Iowa, and living with his girlfriend Brenda and her two children in the basement of her parents' house. Just over five years later, Kurt completed his journey from supermarket to Super Bowl when he led the St. Louis Rams to victory in Super Bowl XXXIV.

In All Things Possible, Warner tells the story of his life both on and off the field, and the faith that keeps him going through bad times (scraping up $1.95 in change to buy gas to make it home in freezing weather) and good times (being named Super Bowl MVP). As an outspoken Christian, Warner peppers his gridiron reminiscences with expressions of his beliefs. Indeed, he sees this book--and his success--as "a forum from which to share the values, lessons, and faith that made it all possible." Add this to his list of achievements. --M. Stein

From the Back Cover:

This book is a first-hand account of one of the greatest underdog stories in the history of sports. Kurt Warner, at age 28, went from being an anonymous third-string quarterback for the St. Louis Rams to a Pro Bowl selection, the NFL’s MVP, and Super Bowl champion in just five months. He’s scored big with fans who are inspired by his devotion to his family and the faith that has helped him through some tough times. (His wife Brenda lost both parents in a tornado that leveled their Arkansas home in 1996; they are raising three children together, and the eldest son Zachary is a special needs child as a result of an accident in infancy that resulted in brain damage.) The back-up quarterback who came off the bench to lead his team to a super bowl victory over the Tennessee Titans is a devout Christian who carries a Bible on the team bus. This book is aimed at sports fans everywhere, as well as the booming evangelical Christian market.
