"God is everything". That's it. That's the whole book. You are not in control and God has a master plan already set just for you. Give yourself up to God and life will be grand.

Needless to say I was very disappointed in this book. I am (was) a fan of the Washington Redskins and I am a huge NASCAR fan so naturally I was attacted to this book by Joe Gibbs.

I do not mean to say that his hypothesis is incorrect (trust in God) but a 300 page book that states the same thing over and over???

Don't bother with this book unless you need reinforcement that God is the way of life. But if that is your passion, you should already be following in His footsteps so there should be no need for this book. If you are not a particularly religous person, this book will be way too much for you.

Save your [money]. Better yet, put the [money] in your collection plate on Sunday. It will do more good there.

Joe Gibbs speaks from his heart. While there are many people who will claim to have their secrets to success, Joe is very clear that his secrets are found in God's Word. He is honest and transparent in sharing from his personal life; both the "ups" and the "downs."

By the way, he doesn't say that to have "success" is to necessarily be financially prosperous. Some have missed his point in thinking that this is what he's saying. He's not preaching "prosperity theology," "get God and get rich" or that kind of stuff. He's pointing out the things that really count in life and how these can be obtained. That's what takes 300 pages to get through our hard heads!

Don't discount the book because you think he's just repeating the fact that God needs to be brought into the picture to make your rich (financially). He does need to be brought into the picture for true success. He discusses the real purpose in life. Something people today are ignoring. Joe points our attention to eternity and the success that will make a difference long after the NFL and NASCAR are gone!

Take time, if you would, and look up the verse on the right tail light of Bobby Labonte's #18 Interstate Battery car. John 3:16 tells the real purpose in life and how to be successful.

Thank you for taking time to give Joe Gibbs an opportunity to share from his heart. His book has given me much to think about.

This book was a pleasant surprise. I expected football and Nascar. Instead I was drawn into Joe Gibbs life. Joe described all the feelings and emotions that go along with unbridaled success and unplanned, catastrophic failure. Through all the trials and tribulations, Joe constantly refers and depends on his faith in God and the place it holds in his day to day walk. I recommend this book to anyone interested in the behind the scenes action of Nascar, the business side of professional football or the day to day decisions and life choices that come with being a christian.
