My boys needed a new book to read. So when I saw this one, I knew it would be a hit with them. They LOVE football ... that is such an understatement really. They are avid sports fan and when I can put something in their hands that not only gives them a role model but incorporates their love of sports ... its a win win!
I really enjoyed reading this book before handing it over to my boys. This is the story of a young man who grew up overcoming great obstacles and allowed his faith to lead him through some super tough circumstances.
I loved reading about his love of and devotion to his daughter. It is so apparent through every word he writes ... his love for her is inspiring and one that I wish more fathers had for their children.
His story is one of determination and perseverance at every step of is journey. It will inspire you to hold on and find your own grit to walk through whatever may be finding it's way into your own path. Totally recommend this book and I cannot wait to see what my boys think as they read it. A very timely read for my family right now. I hope they will always be proud of their scars and not embarrassed ... I hope they will see them as signs they survived what tried to take them out!
Book Description
Be proud of your scars. They’re signs that you survived whatever tried to break you.
For Devon Still, life has been a journey from one scar to the next. From one challenge to the next. His is a story of pushing through pain and overcoming obstacles of all shapes and sizes—of choosing to fight for the sake of his family, his community, and his faith.
Millions of people around the world have been inspired by Devon’s tireless devotion in helping his daughter, Leah, learn how to “beat up cancer.” But in these pages, Devon takes readers behind the headlines to reveal the deeper story of what prepared him for that fight.
Still in the Game is Devon’s declaration that our challenges reveal our purpose, that our scars make us stronger, and that no loss is too great to stop our comeback!
