My Review:

Full of uplifting, motivating verses and quotes as well as inspirational thoughts this is a great little book that will help keep you focused on the real reason for success, God!  I have found that I pick it up every morning and all it takes is to randomly open it and find a writing that will put a smile on my face and inspiration in my heart.  Our family is not really into team sports, we have skateboarders so I was a little unsure how a book by a "coach" would motivate me, who really isn't in to that thing, but team or individual, motivation leads to success and this little book will definitely give you that.  "Life Promises for Success"  would make an excellent gift for your high school or college football player, or any sports fan for that matter.  Fits right into that sports bag and provides the encouragement they may need right when they need it.  It's a book that you will find yourself going back to over and over.
