I guess I knew bits and pieces of Drew Brees story but reading his book I learned so much more about his life, challenges and the incredible story of the Saints march to the Super Bowl victory. Brees is definitely one of the good guys in the sports world. He has overcome the hurdles in his life including his parent’s divorce when he was a young boy, potential end of the career injuries, and his mothers suicide. He has done it through faith in a God who is able to work all things out for His glory and our good.
Being from Louisiana (but a huge Cowboys fan) I rooted the Saints to win it all. Having read this book I am even happier that they did. Brees and his wife, chose to go to New Orleans because they felt they could make a difference there. Their foundation has put $5 million into the rebuilding of the city. I was inspired when I read about their commitment to helping children with cancer as well as the many other worthwhile causes in which they participate.
Anyone can enjoy this book. However, it is especially a good read for any football fan. I highly recommend it.
