Life was all one big act for wrestling superstar Steve Borden, a.k.a. Sting, who held the World Champion title in the WCW. But the greatest wrestling match of his life was outside the ring, and God was taking him to the mat. Confessing his problems to his wife was the beginning of the process that ultimately helped him overcome his addiction to prescription medication, and the answer to his family's prayers.
Life was one big act for wrestling super star Steve Borden, a.k.a. Sting. On the home front, however, his marriage faltered on the brink of failure while he took the fast track in his wrestling career-and to a radical entertainer lifestyle, including an addiction to prescription drugs. Confessing his problems to his wife was the beginning of a process that brought the prideful, self-sufficient champion to his knees. It was to be the greatest wrestling match of his life, and God was taking him to the mat.
God had been planting seeds in Borden’s life from the time he entered professional wrestling-his brother and sisters’s conversions and witnesses, his family’s prayers, the witness of wrestler Ted Dibiasi-and the peace and joy he saw in the lives of other Christians. Now, the confrontation by his wife, whom he didn’t want to lose, plus the fear of life without his two young sons, made his fame and fortune worthless. He was humbled. That was in August 1998. Sting became a new man in Christ and his marriage was restored. Today, he drops scriptures into conversation as easily and naturally as he once dropped opponents in the ring. He still loves a challenge, but where he once relied on a fluorescent face and shocking stunts, he now tackles each challenge with a firm faith in Christ alone.

The book is VERY short with lots of pictures. For a man who has such a story to tell, one would think he could have gone into a little more detail if it is to retail for $14.99. Worth it if you're only paying $1.99.

I didn't think I would like this book, because of the wild cover - I didn't even know who Sting was. But, it is a very uplifting story of God's power to change a life. Sting's testimony, told in simple language honors God and God alone.

In a very hard time in my life I read this book. My girlfriend of 4 years has just left me and I need to take a step closer with God. Steve takes you through his life and his walk with God and it really will make you think about yourself. I read this book in one sitting it was that good.

My grandson is deep into wrestling. He doesn't like to read. He has almost finished reading the book. Now he sees that in any area of life you can do what you want and stil be a child of God.
