In 1996, Mark Brunell became the first quarterback since Johnny Unitas in 1963 to lead the NFL in both passing yards (4,367) and rushing yards for a quarterback (396), serving notice that he was a significant threat as both a passer and a runner. He passed for 2,601 yards in 1998, bringing his career total to 12,512 yards. When he is not on the football field, Brunell is busy in the Jacksonville community for a variety of causes. ...

Product Description
When a potentially career-ending shoulder injury left quarterback Drew Brees without a team—and facing the daunting task of having to learn to throw a football all over again—coaches around the NFL wondered, Will he ever come back? After Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, leaving more than 80 percent of the city underwater, many wondered, Will the city ever come back? And with their stadium transformed into a makeshift refugee camp, forcing the Saints to play their entire 2005 season on the road, people questioned, Will the Saints ever come back? It takes a special person to turn adversity into success and despair into hope—yet that is exactly what Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees has done—and with the weight of an entire city on his shoulders. Coming Back Stronger is the ultimate comeback story, not only of one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks, but also of a city and a team that many had all but given up on. Brees’s inspiring message of hope and encouragement proves that with enough faith, determination, and heart, you can overcome any obstacle life throws your way and not only come back, but come back stronger. ...

Drew Brees
I bought the autobiography of Drew Brees for my son.He has really enjoyed the book while recuperating from a broken foot.

Loved This Book!
Let me start by saying you DO NOT have to be a Saints or even a football fan to enjoy reading this book. (Although being a football fan, I sure did love reliving the the games of last season and the moments leading up to the Superbowl WIN!) This book will inspire you to be a better person, and it has left me a Brees Family Fan!

There are many adversities in his life which Brees discusses, but it was the life changing injury that he received on December 31, 2005, while playing for the San Diego Chargers that ultimately brought Drew Brees to the city of New Orleans. Brees took a hit while trying to recover a fumble and dislocated his right shoulder. While this could have been a career ending injury, Brees pushed forward and never stop believing that one day he would play again. Not only has he returned to the game of football, but he has come back stronger, and has played a very important role in helping the people and the city of New Orleans come back stronger as well after the devasting effects of Hurricane Katrina. Brees talks alot about his strong faith in God and how "God can use everything in your life for good, even though it may seem unfair or insurmountable at the time". "It is not where you start in life, but rather how you finish." This is just another one of the many great quotes you will find in this book. No matter what challenges you may be facing you can "Seize the adversity and let it make you stronger."

I really love the Epilogue at the end of the book. It can be used as sort of a coaching tool to help you whenever you are standing face to face with adversity in your own life.

This book made me laugh and cry, but most importantly it left me inspired...inspired to be a better role model for my children; inspired to be a better citizen in my community; and it has inspired me to Finish Strong in everything I do!

Couldn't put it down!
One of the best books I've ever read.I'm not a fan of football, but Drew Brees' book is much more than a book about sports.I enjoyed reading about the way he handled his devastating injury through faith and support from his devoted wife.In a world that is rampant with infidelity, greed, and lies, it is refreshing to learn that there are players like Drew Brees who recognize that God is the source of his talent (as well as his recovery) and the value of his marriage and family and isn't ashamed to say so.I highly recommend "Coming Back Stronger".

WHO DAT!
This is an amazing book. I don't like to read very much but this was one that I had trouble putting down.Would recommend to anyone.The price is unbeatable as well.

Finally a Real Saint Leads the Saints
One reviewer, Mr. Belvedere, wrote: "The most annoying thing to me is the fact that Mr. Brees is arrogant enough to believe that God and Jesus care about the football heroics and success of a guy who happens to be lucky enough to play for a living."

If God cares enough to count the very hairs of each of our individual heads, I think He can care enough about Mr. Brees to even assist him in making New Orleans Saints football history.

"But the very hairs of your head are all numbered." Matthew 10:30

I told a man about six years ago that I believed God would never honor a team with the name Saints with a championship victory until real saints were part of the team.Then along came Drew Brees whose book testifies that the New Orleans Saints got a real deal modern day saint, and look at the miracle that happened!

Yeah, I think God and Jesus care a lot about even the supposedly little things that comprise our lives.
