INSPIRATIONAL, ENTERTAINING & TERRIFIC!(Rating: 5) Both my husband and I loved this book! I am a big fan of the New Orleans Saints...have been since 1969.....and it hasn't been easy!! LOL! Drew Brees is a man of character and his work ethics, his commitment and his faith are all laid out in this book. Even if you aren't a Saints fan, or a football fan (though loving the game will definitely add to your pleasure), you will gain so much from this book. I not only recommend it.... I also promise that you will enjoy absolutely every bit of it and won't have a moment of regret that you made the purchase! The audio book I purchased is making it's rounds....the whole family is getting a chance to enjoy it! WHO DAT!!
Life changer(Rating: 5) I recently had my faith tested, not in a religious fashion but faith in myself. I am working on a project that I created and am at the stage of development where others are now involved. I have been told from nearly everyone that, for one reason or the other, I have to change what I have created and do it the way everyone else does. I was close to caving to these critics when I heard and interview with Drew Brees. He talked about staying strong and using adversity as a tool to grow. He talked about having faith in yourself and your abilities. He touched me and I immediately made the call to tell my critics that this project would move forward according to my vision and no one elses. Twenty minutes later, by total coincidence, a good friend calls me from San Diego. She tells me that she is in line at a book store and has just bought me a copy of Drew Brees' new book and is in line to have it autographed. If that isn't the universe reaching out then I don't know what is.
She sent the book, I read it immediately, and can truly say that it has changed my life. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs a lift.
I am also a 29 year San Diego Charger season ticket holder. I was at most of the Charger games that he references in the book. I was there when he hurt his shoulder. I miss him in SD. An awful lot of character walked out the door with Drew when he left.
Hey Drew, I read your book, how about you return the favor? LOL.

Coming Back Stronger(Rating: 5) This is a great read for football fans (Saints fans in particular), but it is also an encouragement to all who have faced tragedy (such as the suicide of Drew's mother) or have had to overcome adversity (as Drew did following his shoulder injury and as the folks of New Orleans have done since Katrina). It is also encouraging to read of the Christian faith which I share with Drew. I highly recommend this book.
Coming Back Stronger by Drew Brees(Rating: 4) Coming Back Stronger was interesting to read about Drew Brees background, thoughts and experiences. I was somewhat annoyed by the frequent references to God did this and God did that. The book would have read better to me with fewer religious references.
Inviting and motivating(Rating: 4) Helps the non-athlete drive to the goals in life and remain motivated when the oomph wains.
