Prime Time's Quest to Christ

Wow! The life and times of Deion Sanders is most definitely a most unique and touching story. Who would think that a man with so much going for himself: fame, fortune, women and much more would want to commit suicide? It just goes to show the public that material gifts don't bring happiness without those who love us in our lives on a daily basis.Due to hearing the numerous testimonies of Sanders (and others outside of pro sports and the entertainment industry) on ESPN and Christian networks, I am trying to take those extra steps to put Christ in my life full time.I must admit, I loved the non-religious Deion Sanders. He was so conceited and filled with so much arrogance, and my goodness was he entertaining! However, by seeing the new Deion Sanders, I admire him even more because it takes lots of courage to make the transformations and sacrifices he has made.I've read a little over half of Deion's book thus far, so I'm informed about part of his journey to spirituality. Now, it's time for me to read the other half of his book and get the complete story of how Deion found "The Big Guy In The Sky."Job well done by Deion and his editor, Jim Nelson Black on bringing us a most uplifting story for all readers to take part in.Finally, I just want to say: Keep doin' what ya doin' Deion and don't change. Keep safe and God bless!

Quick, fun, inspirational read- didn't mind T.D. Jakes promo

I felt I owed it to my man, Deion, for all of the commitment he's given to the excitement and elevation of big-time, prime-time sports. He's always showed us the glamour we wanted to see in the ultra-fast lane of show-time atheletics. My sons and I stop talking and get glued to the screen whenever he's on it- on the field or off. We've never understood the criticism and he's welcome to claim himself as a role model for my boys.M, P, & S was a relatively light, easy read for me. I wish there had been more about the inner motivation, even in the early years, which engendered in him such extreme confidence, such determination, yet kept him humble enough to train year in and year out to keep at his physical peak. It's easy to see what propels him now- T. D. Jakes' influence. And I was curious enough about that influence to order more on Bishop Jakes- and that's just what Deion wanted. Great read; try it.Hal DockinsJackson, MS

Depicts how Sanders grows out of adolescence into manhood.

For any man who has ever had problems with "power, sex or money," this is a must-read.

Honest, thought-provoking.

As a fellow Christian, I thought that this book was very open, honest and thought provoking. My continued prayers for Mr. Sanders and his family.
