Tim Tebow is a cultural phenomenon. At just 24 years old, he’s been voted America’s Most Popular Athlete by ESPN’s Sports Poll. He’s won a Heisman Trophy, published a bestselling memoir, and preached to crowds of thousands of fellow Christians. Barack Obama has called him a role model and Time magazine recently named him one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World.
In TEBOW TIME: Insights on Winning from Football’s Rising Star (Tarcher/Penguin, $11.95), author Jesse Hines presents a compilation of quotes from Tebow on all the topics that have inspired so much fascination across America: his unconventional (and often criticized) playing tactics; his unwavering devotion to Christianity; his reactions to controversy, criticism and mockery; and who he really is as a person.
Among the topics Tebow discusses are: Anxiety; Being a Role Model; Belief; Biblical Role Models; Compassion; Controlling Emotions; Dealing with Critics; Decision-Making; Enjoying Life; Eye Black Scriptures; Faith; First Impressions; Fitness; God’s Sovereignty; Handling Fame; Hard Work; How to Improve America; Humility; Integrity; Jesus Christ; Learning from Failure; Living by Faith; Living with Passion; Most Important Thing in Life; Never Giving Up; Nutrition; Orphans; Preaching; Pride; Pushing Yourself to the Limit; Self-Discipline; Sexual Purity; Sharing the Credit; Spreading the Gospel; Staying Grounded; Supporting Teammates; “Tebowing”; Trash Talking; Victory; Visiting Prisoners; Visiting Suffering Fans and much, much more.
Tebow’s quotes, each followed by analysis by Hines, present an in-depth portrait of a popular yet frequently misunderstood figure, one who is both humble and confident enough to be unapologetically himself.

Admire his integrity and genuine love for God’s Word and sovereignity.
He possesses the true meaning and balance (hearbeat) of life. and faith that gives value to every detail of life. I admire but also envy him for that.
Everyone should read this book. Such a good role model. I will go out today and buy it and more for gifts
Praise God for your service & testimony to Him through your athleticism. Moreover, praise God for your devotion to Him. Keep serving the people of the Philippines. I go to the Philippines annually to participate in service projects to the needy and indigent. Last time we delivered multiple containers of wheelchairs & will return early next year to do it again. All glory goes to God.
Way to go Tim Tebow, continue to let your light shine for Jesus. I have a friend from the Philippines and I would love to know more about your ministry outreach there. All glory go to God and let your friends know about= SEE YOU AT THE POLE on WEDNESDAY, Sept 26,2012 at 7 AM. Lets get the word out for all the youth to go and pray at the flag pole. Maybe you could be a guest speaker in the high schools. THANKS, Wanda Chandler Champion
Tim Tebow: You are a true Man of God whom I highly admire & respect. I am now a Jets fan because of you. You took a stand for Christ and I highly respect you for it. You remind me of myself when I was your age. I am 48 years old, and never gave into peer pressure with drugs, alcohol, and sex. I am happily married, and thank God I never fell back. Continue to leet GOD use you, for it will pay off in the end. Only what you do for Christ will last.

Tim Tebow I so admire you for what you stand for, You are a great example to the whole world. How i wish we had more Tim Tebow`s.love in Christ
I think this guy is awesome, not only as a great football player , but most of all for his courage to stand up /to show the love of JESUS to ALL!!
What a witness for Jesus!
good for tebow for standing up for what he believes in.
So proud to see that he can stand up and be a witness for our Lord Jesus
“But we hold these treasures in jars of clay, to show that this all surpassing power is from God and not us. We are hard pressed but not crushed; perplexed but not in despair; persecuted not abandoned; struck down but not destroyed.”
Tim honey, are you still trying to be straight in this book? Closet are for cloths….Come out of the closet….You’re not straight…….. You’re only fooling yourself……….
Mr. Barry:
Why is it so difficult for people like yourself to believe in someone like Tebow? Here are a few facts for you:
YES…young men and women of today can be sexually pure
NO…it doesn’t mean they are gay
YES…they are often chastised by sick and misguided people like yourself
NO…they are not discouraged because they are holding true God’s commandment and therefore will be sustained by His grace!
He is a wonderful role model for people of all ages…..
Come out of the closet? Wishful thinking on your part. Dream on buddy.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
He is a man of God!!! Get over your judgmental prejudice. He can be sexually pure & righteous. You probably don’t know anything about that.
I wholeheartedly believe Tim Tebow is an especially-appointed young man for our time. As I began learning about him, it just blew me away because I could feel the power of Christ in him. Football may not be forever, but it is God’s training ground for now – and he will continue to give it all he’s got until the next door is opened. His name (and his life) spread around this world such as we have not seen in a long time. I think there are much bigger things waiting for you as you grow in the Lord. May you have feet firmly planted and patience for what may be in your future. May you be blessed as you genuinely show the love, forgiveness and great abilities such as God would like for so many – to be true to Him!!
PS I’m an 81 yr. old grandmother. I know good when I see it…
God is going to bless him no matter where he calls him to because God is first in his life. He is bright, and has a heart for people so that will take him further than sports.
In new to a lot of this stuff, so I,m still learning, so help to work with me. When I see something that I like I will log in. Keep up the good work. Thanks
Tebow, you are the role model of your generation. Your infinite faith in God is so great and admirable.
Aww I just love hearing how God is working through him he is truly a blessing and I pray that the Lord continue to bless him and strengthen him through out his journey. #15
Tim, I am mighty proud of your stand for Jesus Christ. Stay prayed-up and have an accountability partner to keep check on you. Satan has his big guns aimed at you. He would love to see you trip-up. Learn from Rev. Billy Graham to not think too highly of yourself. Humility and dependancy will be your best defence.
Looking forward to your second book Tim.
So great to see a man as Handsome and talented as you giving all the Glory to God,You are such an inspiration and a awsome model for the young men growing up today{)
You are awesome! Thank you for having roots and wings!
Hey Tim I be honest I do not like florida sports, but I love sports and i love footbal. I am a born again christian and I’m saved. Thank for God sending his son the die on the cross for my sin. I wasn’t always fellowing christ, but my life is on fire for him now. I been married and divorce twice. Going through my second divorce now. If has been a lot of trails. If been hardest on my to wonderful children. My daughter is saved, and God has been working on my son. First could you search your heart and God wisdow to know that I’m telling you the tell. Than could you pray for my children. Then pray for me that God will give me the wisdom I need to know what God wants for me first and second that I can be the best christian father to my children. I love my children Trevor and Jena, but I have be accused of a lot of things from there mother. We have been to court and it all has been unfounded. My fiath as been test and keeps being tested. I pray dailey for my soon be ex wife. She is not a believer. She believe in God, but the devil believe in God also. Please understand and pray for God”s will to be done in my children life and my life thank you.

I admire anyone that stands up for our GOD, LORD and Saviour. Jesus said if you deny me, etc and you can say God will definitely remember Mr Tim. God Bless you, young man, I
pray for your success.
GOD BLESS HIM….NEVER LOSS FAITH……
I am so proud of Tim and the Witness of his Faith. He is a wonderful example to us all. Tim’s speech and conduct, shows the world his true being and his wonderful relationship with his Lord. His words are Honest and well chosen. He knows, that a successful relationship with Christ. Will reward him eternity. Everything else, is perishable. God Bless you Tim Tebow
As I learned from reading your first book “through my eyes” you were not
meant to be. But The Good Lord had a purpose for you in this world,
for this generation of lost souls. Continue your good work and your
love for Jesus, you are Blessed.
Thank you Tim. Keep working for God. HE will keep you and protect you.
Nice to see god cares more about football games then starving children.
WHAT MORE CAN ANYONE SAY ABOUT THIS KID !!!!!! GOD IS LOVE, GOD IS ALL POWERFUL, ONLY GOD IS THE WAY AND GOD’S WILL WILL SURE BE DONE……………..THIS KID HAS BEEN CHOSEN AND BLESSED BY GOD TO TEACH US ALL……..HE LIVES IT, HE LOVES IT, HE KNOWS IT IS REAL, HE HAS NO FEAR OR SHAME OF TALKING TO ANYONE ABOUT HIS LIFE AND HIS BELIEFS AND GOD WILL SURELY TAKE EVERY STEP TIM MUST TAKE………….GOD WILL ALWAYS PROTECT THIS YOUNG MAN AND I, FOR ONE, THANK GOD I AM BLESSED TO BE LIVING DURING THIS TIME TO WITNESS GOD’S WORK THROUGH HIM.
Tim, Your example is so refreshing! You remind me of the greats like Daniel and Joseph in the Old Testament. Keep shining for our Lord!
We need many more like him. I would have loved him to be my son-in-law or son. PTL
I miss seeing him play,their lose. He is an amazing role mode for kids and adults as well. Seldom do we see a man stand up for Christ and not waver after all the put downs! He stays bold in his convictions. AMEN!
