Shaken

Tebow reflects on the unpredictability of life and how one event can dramatically alter one’s circumstances. He believes that people should not define themselves by their successes or failures, as both are changeable, but instead develop an identity and purpose that goes beyond their current circumstances. While Tebow is famous for his successes as an athlete, he feels that few know about his failures and challenges. He reveals that he leaned on his Christian faith during trying times and found comfort in the scriptures.

The author explains that this book contains many personal stories, but it is not meant to be a memoir. Instead, he will explore how his faith has informed his life journey, and he will address the people who have inspired him throughout his life and career. He connects this inspiration with his foundations, the W15H outreach program, and Night to Shine, which hosts proms for special needs youth.

Tebow feels that having a strong relationship with God can “give you purpose and reshape your destiny in incredible ways” (5). He coaches the reader to strengthen their faith to find purpose and positivity and to help others.
