THE MAKING OF A MAN: How Men and Boys Honor God and Live With Inegrity by Tim Brown
 
In a professional and personal memoir, Tim Brown carefully displays his weaknesses and strengths in a struggle to not fall into the world’s expectations of today’s famous athletes.    Brown is honest and forthright.  These qualities paint a picture of a “real” man with real struggles.  He works to place God in all of his actions and seeks God to guide his decisions, both on and off the football field.  He takes the reader from a childhood full of dreams to an adulthood full of accomplished dreams, gained through lessons learned and hard work. 
This book should be a must-read for young men of today.  Tim Brown relays his struggles from high school, through college, and on, as he became a Pro Bowl player in the NFL and a family man.  Even though, he worked to include God in his life, he made mistakes and fell into the pitfalls so many do today.  But, he never gave up and he fought through injuries and temptations to align his life with his beliefs.  Using his life as a lesson for others, Brown includes stories of his life in sports as well, giving the reader a reminder of his athletic prowess.  As many young men today are searching for guidance and a role model, Tim Brown has provided a book that can provide that for so many.
