Over the past five years Tim Tebow has established himself as one of the greatest quarterbacks in college football history and a top prospect in the NFL. In Through My Eyes he shares his inspiring story. From the circumstances of his birth to Christian missionaries in the Philippines to his homeschool roots and record-setting career with the Florida Gators, Tebow tells how his Christian faith, family values, and determination to succeed propelled him to achieve his dreams.

Over the course of the last four years, Tim Tebow has established himself as one of the best quarterbacks in the history of college football. During that time he has amassed an unparalleled resume, winning two BCS national championships, becoming the first sophomore to win the Heisman trophy, and in the face of massive public scrutiny, being drafted in the first round by the Denver Broncos-all while wearing his devout Christianity on his sleeve. Both on and off the field, he's shown himself to be a thoughtful and inspiring figure whose faith and character are evident in everything he does. Indeed, though still in college, he's been uniquely successful at using his celebrity to help others, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to support charities and mission work in this country and around the world. In an age when our sports stars so rarely live up to their reputations and their responsibilities Tim Tebow does both. In this memoir, Tebow effectively combines his football story with his faith, showing people everywhere how his belief has led to his success on the field. From his birth in the Philippines to missionary parents to his home schooling to his historic run as the quarterback of one of college football's most storied programs, Tebow guides the reader through the highs and lows of his life, always reminding people of the role that God has played in his journey. More than a sports book, more than a book about faith, this memoir is a rare combination of humility, humanity, and honesty that offers a look inside a truly unique athlete whose skill is matched only by his belief. Publishing to coincide with Easter 2011, this engaging and evocative book will resonate whether the reader is a Christian, a football fan, or both, providing a football story unlike any other.

"Through My Eyes is an inspirational winner! Tim has succeeded in all aspects of his life, and now he can add author to the long list of accomplishments. His story shows that with hard work and determination, anything is possible." -Chuck Norris, actor, best-selling author

"I first heard about Tim Tebow when he was a senior in high school, and I have followed his career closely since then. I've grown to admire his leadership, his drive, and his Christian character. Tim has always made the people around him better, on and off the field. That's what winners do, and Tim is a winner in every sense of the word. This book will show you how that leadership, heart and character were developed." -Tony Dungy, former NFL coach, best-selling author, and Emmy-nominated TV analyst

"Tim Tebow is one of the greatest players I've ever seen play the game, but just as remarkable is the person he is off the field. His work ethic and attitude were contagious; they brought out the best in everyone around him-teammates, trainers, graduate assistants, our entire coaching staff, and especially me. The unparalleled combination of his talent, competitiveness, leadership, and character is what ultimately puts Tim in a unique place in the history of American sports." -Urban Meyer, two-time NCAA National Championship-winning football coach

"I've always been a South Carolina fan, and a few years ago I spent my Saturdays doing two things: pulling for my Gamecocks and rooting against Tim Tebow. Then my buddies in Rascal Flatts called and invited me to hang out with them and Tim. Well, since that day I have been rooting for Tim Tebow. From the moment I met him I realized how real and genuine he is, and I am proud to call him my friend." -Darius Rucker, two-time Grammy Award winner
