What can I say about this book? 5 stars. It was just so moving, beautiful and a reminder that God is always in the present with us through the storms. This touched on more in depth of Tim Tebow’s foundation and Night to Shine that helps special needs children and victims in human trafficking. As an Autism Special Needs Mama, it particularly blessed my heart. Such an inspirational read. I was crying as we learn about many of the children and people in this story, and how the Lord worked in their lives. Tebow talks about finding our mission, pursuing our purpose, and creating a life that counts. I tabbed so much in this book and plan to revisit over and over again.

At first, I wasn’t sure I would like this book. I was disappointed with the first chapter. But then, as Tim Tebow continued to share stories about how God changed lives, I found my eyes full of tears and my heart full of love and hope. God is good. His mercy endures forever, and this book showcases stories from children suffering from disabilities or terminal illnesses and the strength they find in Jesus Christ. Beautiful!

From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows, Tebow's words help you focus your priorities and maintain a vision that surpasses our days on earth.

Timmy T. never disappoints with his books!
This is powerful and left me so encouraged to find the purpose and mission in my mundane day to day life.
I highly recommend and encourage you to read this book.

“Make your life count. This doesn’t have much to do with your skill or success or talents. Rather, it has everything to do with the unique calling God has bestowed on you that he has already equipped you for. It has to do with what He has made mission possible.
Now, let go live that out!”

No matter our circumstances, God has created us for a purpose. This is our mission possible. Tasks for God’s Kingdom. By working outside of ourselves, we build significance toward the eternal.
This is a chapter book, not a devotional, although there is one available. Each of the ten chapters are about 12 pages long with different headings to further identify topics like developing an individual mission, valuing yourself as God does, purpose over preference, purpose in the present, the resistance and the waiting, embracing the grind and making your life count. Tebow includes some personal examples, stories of preteens that will inspire the reader and analogies that teach spiritual lessons. The book ends in an invitation to a life that has purpose and one that counts.
This book is suitable for the advertised ages of 10-12 boys and girls. I received this book from the author/publisher free of charge, with no expectation of a positive review.

I really enjoyed this book. I liked that he set up the Tim Tebow Foundation with his mission being to bring faith, love and hope to people during their darkest hour. I actually had the opportunity to meet him in person last year during our Stakeholder’s meeting in Oklahoma where he was our guest speaker. He gave an awesome speech about his faith and his dedication to his mission and challenged us to find our mission and purpose in life.

I received a free copy of, Mission Possible Young Reader's Edition, by Tim Tebow, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I have always admired Tim Tebow, his values and morals are inspiring. This is a great book for young people, to learn more about themselves, their faith, and how to find your mission/purpose for life.

I liked this book a lot because of how the many ways stories are told in this book. In this book, he tells stories that have happened in his life and other stories that have happened in other people's lives that he has heard about. He also tells stories that happened in the bible that relates to other stories that it talks about what has happened to people during this time. I would recommend this book to Christians and non-Christians because this book will and can transfer people to Christianity. I would recommend this book to people in high school or above because there are some words that you need to know in order to understand the book, and some words are complex and young kids may not know them.
There was not a lot to not like in this book because of how it is presented in so many ways. I liked every way how this book was presented to the reader, but some people might not like the way that it is presented in one way but might like it in another. That is why this book is so easy to like because of how it can connect to everyone throughout the world. The only thing that I found difficult in this book was that some words were hard to understand, so I had to look up the definition. This took time, but it was definitely worth doing it. I think that this has some pretty big words in the book because the bible also has some big words. The book uses some bible verses in this and connects them to the story that he tells in the book.
The big theme in this book is how to live a mission possible life. To make your life count and to know why you are here and what your purpose is for being here. This book teaches you so many lessons about serving and doing things for others in the picture of God. There are a lot of messages in this book that serve very well. One of my favorite messages is that living a mission possible life by making other people's lives better, that makes them want to have a life that they think they have a purpose in living in. I have learned so much from this book, and it teaches so many lessons. I probably have missed some things and that is why I want to read it again because of how good and impactful it is. Some of the things that I have learned from this book is that you should always trust God in the path that he is sending you in. You should always know that you should not be scared to do something that makes you look funny in other people’s eyes because in God’s eyes it is the right thing that you are doing. Now, the last thing that really stuck with me is that things that are humanly impossible are not impossible to Him, so you should always have faith that what he is doing is the right thing.

Incredible book! Such a great reminder to live a life that is centered around glorifying Christ and making others feel loved and valued. Very encouraging and would recommend to anyone - ranging from those who are devout followers of Christ or even just curious about Christianity. Awesome read.

From the grandparents. Honestly didn’t know Tim Tebow was an author, but this book echoes the importance of living intentionally with a desire to positively impact others. Very very inspiring. Would recommend for young men trying to find purpose.
March 17, 2022
I honestly came into this book simply looking to see behind the curtain and to either affirm or deny the validity of this man for myself, not that my opinion is gospel, but at least I can feel comfortable that my past and current perceptions of Tebow are somewhat rooted in reality. I know he has a lot of detractors because people are cynical when it comes to viewing too much of a good thing, and I get that. That being said, I felt a genuine vibe throughout this book, and I learned many interesting things about his foundation which are inspiring.
I’m not one to read things from a spiritual perspective, and I can’t say I’m quick to scripture, but the scripture he cited throughout was balanced nicely with bittersweet and inspiring anecdotes and real life connections. I saw one review lambasting this text for being overtly Christian and preachy, and I’m confused by that. What were you expecting reading a book written by an unapologetic Christian? That being said, did it have preachy moments, sure, but they were not overbearing and he wasn’t giving you a guilt trip if you are not all in on his religious way of living. What he speaks about in this text is certainly of foundational importance to a sound Christian life, but more so, it’s of foundational importance to what it means to be a good human.
If all you want to see in this text is the Christian pep talk, it’s certainly there, but if you are able to be more anthropological about this text, you can take away from it a lot of interesting food for thought.

This is a motivational Christian book by the athlete Tim Tebow to help people have a purposed-filled and significant life. It could be inspirational, especially to sports fans. The examples he gives including flying around the world with his beauty-queen wife were a little off putting to me. Although the charities he has set up are quite admirable, many of the examples he gave were not realistic for an average person. I only recommend this for Tim Tebow fans.

Thank you NetGalley and WaterBrook & Multnomah for the advanced read copy of this book!
My son and I read this together. He is 9, a huge football fan, a flag football player, and is at an impressionable age. The amount of practical application combined with spiritual encouragement was enough to lift his spirits and want to be the a leader on the field, as well as being the best athlete he can be!
We will definitely be purchasing this book as gift for his friends, and recommend it to everyone!
We rate this book 5/5 stars!

In this encouraging book, Tim Tebow’s aim is to help us find our purpose. He tells us that Scripture gives us one shared and big-picture purpose, which is to glorify God. Within that greater purpose of glorifying God, we find our purpose in what we do every day. He tells us that simply put, purpose is about being mission driven in our ordinary life. Whatever we are tasked with in the everyday—even what we believe is the most trivial of duties or responsibilities, or a boring job we are always complaining about—we should find a way to invite purpose into that space.
When we live mission possible, we live a life that counts because of what God has done and is doing through us. It’s not about what we can do; it’s about what God can do through us. He writes that when you determine to live mission possible, you will not look back one day and wrestle with regret or painfully wonder what you did with your life.
Tebow tells us that a mission possible life has less to do with us and more to do with others, and mission living means being motivated by something other than yourself. He tells us that if God is prompting us to do something, He will equip, empower, and encourage us, and see that mission to completion. We should stop focusing on what we can’t do, and remember that nothing is too hard for God.
He challenges us to ask what can we do, starting now, to begin to live a mission-possible life. He encourages us to use what moves us, what God has put inside our heart, and take one step forward in mission-possible living. He tells us that the impact we make will be worth every ounce of effort, every minute of work, and every question and challenge we are likely going to face. A question we should ask ourselves is “Does my life change other people’s lives for the better?”
Throughout the book, Tebow shares stories (sometimes uplifting and sometimes heartbreaking), along with illustrations from Scripture. Topics included in the book include significance, developing a mission statement, passion, sacrifice, comfort, investing in eternity, convictions, choices, and making our lives count.
Companion resources available are Mission Possible Goals Guide: A 40-Day Plan to Making Each Moment Count, Mission Possible Bible Study: Go Create a Life That Counts, and the children’s book Bronco and Friends: Mission Possible.
Below are some of my favorite quotes from the book:
1. Living a mission-possible life means executing the good works that God has already prepared for you to do.
2. God has a plan for you to love and care for people. You honor Him through that mission.
3. When we choose to trust God with our lives, we have a sense of a higher calling. We recognize that significance matters more than success.
4. Wherever we are, in whatever we are doing, we can always do something to transcend what can start out as seemingly insignificant.
5. You may be in a role or situation that is not the entire expression of your purpose, but you are still meant to carry your purpose into those places.
6. Living a mission-possible life, in whatever our hands find to do, is an act of worship.
7. Be the light Jesus has been to you wherever you may be.
8. One of the greatest enemies of living a mission-possible life is the pursuit of comfort.
9. Live today and each day forward with a forever mindset. Focus on doing things that will leave a legacy after you’re gone.
10. A work ethic is pointless without a purpose. Working hard is not the end goal; we work hard to get to the end goal.
11. You have a vision of who you are and who God created you to be. You understand that your time on earth is limited and live with an underlying sense of urgency. You focus on what you need to do now and what you need to do next.
12. Living mission possible means living with an eternal mindset, knowing that our work on earth is to accomplish something of eternal value.
13. What matters more than the fun we have or the stuff we accumulate is what we did with the time we were given.

In Mission Possible, Tim Tebow explored our paths to discovering our purpose in life and making an impact in other people’s lives. We are all called to live a mission filled lifestyle that showcased all of the good works that God has prepared for us. He explained how Paul stated how we are a workmanship created by Jesus to do His good works and God has prepared us to work in them. We are called to make a difference and help people who are hurting. He shared how he was called to start the Tim Tebow Foundation after meeting a little boy in the Philippines who was born with his feet on backward. Their mission statement is one that touches on how they want to bring faith, hope, and love to people who are in need.
He revealed a heartbreaking study that was completed and they found people who are 51 to 61 who didn’t have a purpose to live for in life was more likely to die. He shared how we all created in God’s image and we need to know our worth and the power of who lives inside us. When we truly believe this, we will find new meaning for living and discovering our purpose. He encouraged readers to become a part of the rescue mission for people. This includes clothing the naked, feeding the hungry, showing mercy, speaking up for people who don’t have a voice, and being kind. In the book, he investigated what encompasses a good mission statement. He provided questions to get people on the right track in brainstorming what their mission statement could be in life. Each mission statement is special in the fact that everyone has their own calling they are supposed to follow.
I liked reading the story about Natalie and how he helped rescue her from human trafficking. His organization has been serving in that area secretly for seven years and they didn’t publicly announce it until 2020. Natalie was sold for sex beginning when she was four or five years old. She lived in a camper with no electricity or running water. Her parents were drug addicts and they would sell their children for sex regularly to make them money where they could keep purchasing drugs. People judged her at school because she was dirty and wore the same clothes daily. She suffered from PTSD, anxiety, depression, and much more. She eventually went into the military and had to drop out. She was homeless and met two men who promised her a better life. They would kindly pay for her room, food, gas for her car. They drilled the door shut and starved her. She was sold for sex and one day she tried to flee and collapsed. A neighbor called 911 and at the hospital a social worker helped her get free. She has since has received her associate degree and works at the same hospital she was rescued at. This helped him to get a passion for helping others.
I would recommend this life changing book on forming and crafting our mission. It was interesting to read about how he proposed to Demi and the thoughts behind it. He was able to relate this example to part of his mission. It also liked how he opened up about his struggle with feeling confident when he was speaking in public. You wouldn’t have picture him struggling with public speaking, since he is now a Christian speaker. Part of what helped him was his teacher, Miss Nancy and her positively influence she had on him. She knew her mission was to help students in choir class. I also liked how he discussed the importance of having a strong work ethic. We need to practice making solutions instead of just complaining when things go wrong. Integrity is something we can all learn to strive for and cultivate it daily.

Have you ever thought about the purpose of your life? Tim Tebow, athlete, speaker, and TV sports analyst, shares his ideas on the subject in his latest book Mission Possible. He says that our “big-picture purpose is to bring glory to God wherever you are” and that “Living a mission-possible life means executing the good works that God has already prepared for you to do.”
Tebow lays out in plain language and through Scriptures and anecdotes how each one of us can live out a mission possible life, a life of significance. As head of the Tim Tebow Foundation, Tebow tries to transparently live out his beliefs as he spearheads projects to honor the disabled where they are each crowned king or queen of the prom at Night to Shine events all over the world. He does this to show them how much God loves them and how special they are in God’s eyes. His foundation is also involved in orphanages and health care clinics as well as fighting sexual trafficking. While we can’t all do the things he does or have the influence he has, Tebow says that we can all live out our purpose and make a difference in the lives of others.
In this powerful and inspirational book, Tebow addresses some of the hard problems we face as we try to discover our purpose and make our lives count. Sometimes we encounter obstacles that could keep us from completing our mission, but God can do the impossible if we are willing to be used by Him. God can use us wherever we are, even if we think what we are doing is insignificant. As Tebow notes about Jesus: “He lived fully with purpose in every moment.” That is hard to do but Jesus is the ultimate example for living a life full of purpose.
Our mission possible life will aim for excellence with integrity and gratitude. Tebow also encourages you to pursue your mission with passion. He shares how to find your edge and use it well. He gives guidance for dealing with uncertainties, imperfections, and even failure. He encourages you to take that first step, however small it may be: you don’t have to map out the whole journey before you begin in faith.
There is so much Godly, practical wisdom in Mission Possible. The style is easy to read and well organized, the content is important, and the message is clear. The book concludes with a prayer for those who don’t yet have a personal relationship with Jesus and want to pray to accept Him into their lives. There is another prayer for those ready to make their lives count. This book will make an impact on your life. Read it. Share it. Act on it. You will be glad you did.
I would like to extend my thanks to NetGalley and to WaterBrook for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

As Tebow notes about Jesus: “He lived fully with purpose in every moment.” That is hard to do but Jesus is the ultimate example for living a life full of purpose.
Our mission possible life will aim for excellence with integrity and gratitude. Tebow also encourages you to pursue your mission with passion. He shares how to find your edge and use it well. He gives guidance for dealing with uncertainties, imperfections, and even failure. He encourages you to take that first step, however small it may be: you don’t have to map out the whole journey before you begin in faith.
There is so much Godly, practical wisdom in Mission Possible. The style is easy to read and well organized, the content is important, and the message is clear. The book concludes with a prayer for those who don’t yet have a personal relationship with Jesus and want to pray to accept Him into their lives. There is another prayer for those ready to make their lives count. This book will make an impact on your life. Read it. Share it. Act on it. You will be glad you did.
I would like to extend my thanks to NetGalley and to WaterBrook for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

One of the Bible verses Tim Tebow liked to put in his eye black was Mark 8:36. "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Mr. Tebow is certainly living that message. (Side note, I can still generate some anger for the fact that pro-sports players can engage in all kinds of messaging except religious messaging, but that is a thought for another time.) One of my biggest concerns is human trafficking. I had heard Tim Tebow interviewed, and the foundation became involved in this effort when his father, who was a missionary in the Philippines, was approached by someone to buy girls. He pulled out all the money he had on him, and bought 4. Thus began an additional focus for the foundation, they built the first safe home to house those 4 girls.. I was so moved, I went to his foundation and started donating. Hopefully, I can save a girl or child. I am at at stage in life where I am no longer pondering my mission, but reflecting on it. Another favorite quote in the book was "Do what you can, with what you've got, where you are." It is attributed to a friend of Teddy Roosevelt. I have always volunteered in some capacity due to the fact that I have led a blessed life. I am currently volunteering with our county library system, which is as much a social service agency as a library. That message made me feel good about my efforts. Mr. Tebow says he can't save all the women, girls, and children in the world who are trafficked, but he will do what he can, along with numerous other endeavors. We are all just encouraged to do what we can, where we are, with what we have.

This book about Tim Tebow is a great book about faith and doing whatever you put your mind too. I’m addition to that the way he said “mission living means too being motivated by something other than yourself.” This quote really just stated like through out the book there’s more too life than just being a me guy. Regardless of that the next quote like most are from the Bible I love the way Tim Tebow states “the importance of loving what God loves and who God loves, which is humanity” this is a great part of the book the demonstrates selflessness and that we should love those around us. Nevertheless Tebows love for God shows like in the quote “have you ever sacrificed something he wanted you to do because it would make you uncomfortable or call into question how others received you.” This quote just shows how much of a role model he is he’s a leader telling us too look at our own like and what we’ve done and telling us too get out of are comfort zones and turn too God. I’m addition too that I love the way Tim Tebow states Mark 12:30 “Love the lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.” It just shows how faithful a man Tebow is. Therefore there’s one last phrase that Tebow said that stood out too me is “ It’s not about knowing every detail or having an answer for every question it’s about accepting the mission that God has prompted in your heart and following it, one step at a time.” This book I would highly recommend especially if your lost and trying to find meaning I love the way Tebow really is just a role model a selfless and caring towards others as shown in the quotes. In conclusion highly recommend

Most likely because I listened to this as an audiobook instead of actually reading the book I felt that it wasn't as actionable as I would have liked it to be as far as having clear-cut steps. With that being said, the stories that Tim shared of some of the people he met were incredibly moving and have lit a fire in me that I will not soon forget. The story about the wife and mother whose son had cerebral palsy and husband who ultimately had a chronic disease for which she had to take care of him for was incredibly moving. How the person in the hospital asked who would care for him, she replied it would be her - that they had been together 25 years and she hadn't gone anywhere yet... only for that worker to reply and emphasize "yet". Her last words to her husband were that "yet" hadn't come. Then the story of Ethan - the 9-year-old boy who was diagnosed with an aggressive stage 4 cancer and ultimately died from it 4 years later telling his parents that he wasn't afraid of dying, but that he was afraid that others would blame God. That level of spiritual maturity is something I can only pray to reach... but am honestly scared to given what it cost Ethan. I guess I liked the book more than I realized because I am recounting other examples to myself that I enjoyed and feel challenged/heartened by. My biggest takeaway is that I want to take action for Christ and that it might not be easy, but that I can still take heart.

Wow.
The reviews I've read said it has value for people who weren't religious, and I think it is spot on. A lot of people are going to see the authors name and immediately dismiss it, even though the lessons can benefit them greatly, not only professionally, but how they feel about themselves, and treat others. This is a life-changing book. I think this is a perfect how to guide for dealing with depression, how to find that next step, how to cope and put your problems into perspective. How to be fulfilled and happy and have meaning. We have a problem in society of an us versus them mentality, and hating people for no reason, so this review is for the people who hate Tim Tebow for no reason, you don't have to agree like him, you can even block out the God parts if you have to, but this book is going to impact your life. Life-changing book.

Choose to Accept the Mission
The mission is only possible with God. This was a great book. There was valuable takeaways and insights in the stories shared. Tim has a tremendous heart. This is coming from someone who isn’t a football fan. I’ve never been on the bandwagon of his fandom until now that I know he is a brother in Christ. I know he’s been for awhile, but I didn’t know until now. Just like Jesus has been preached for decades, but someone might not come to know Him without people accepting the mission.
This has brought me to a higher calling and a higher standard.
Thank you.

ANOTHER WINNER FROM OUR HEISMAN TROPHY WINNER AS HE LEADS US TO CRAFT AND CREATE A MISSION STATEMENT FOR OUR LIFE. A BOOK SUITABLE FOR ANY AGE. HIS SCRIPTURE APPLICATIONS AND REFERENCES ARE SPOT ON, HIS STORIES OF OTHERS ARE INSPIRATIONAL, AND HE GIVES US A GLIMPSE ON HOW HE HAS DEALT WITH PURSUING A SUSTAINABLE JOURNEY FOLLOWING HIS PASSION. I WISH EVERYONE WOULD GIVE HIS BOOKS A CHANCE AND GIVE HIS FOUNDATION A LOOK ON WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH. GREAT STUFF!

I enjoyed this book. I listened to the audio version while reading it as well. It was more of a connecting feeling this way.
This book and all of its chapters make you feel that no matter what you are doing, you do have a purpose. You can do more and it can all start with small steps. Anything being possible, just take a small step and volunteer to help any program or need in your area. There is more to life than just settling.

Sometimes it's hard to keep your eyes on God when you're in the waiting. After reading this book and looking at my boring, mundane job, I see how God is currently using me to come along side some of my teammates and help them through a hard time. It also helped me make my mission a little more general. Other books seem to lead you to make your mission very, very specific, but I like Tim's general mission for this foundation.

This is the third book by Tebow I have read and all in one airplane ride. This book is only 10 chapters and it was a faster read than I thought it would take. This book ignites a new spark to live a life with mission with suggestions on how to: Identify your priorities, align your responsibilities, elevate convictions over emotions, make decisive, wise, and impactful choices, fuel your drive and passion and set your sights on eternity. Glad I read these 3 books by Tebow and blessed to read about his journey, prison ministry, philanthrophic work and his heart for God. Surely an anointed individual chosen as a vessel for His glory. Well done Tim Tebow! I like how each chapter includes a quote and notes at the end of each of his books for reference.

I bought this book specifically for the chapter on Ethan Hallmark, whose story should (and I am sure eventually will) be its own book.
I enjoyed the book and the messages. In a time when it’s so much easier to be jaded and awful, Tebow continues to shine a light on stories of faith, courage and love.

It has been interesting to see the growth of Tebow's writing, in terms of both style and content. This book has moved firmly beyond football to Tebow's greater mission, and it encourages and emboldens the reader to do the same. I hope he keeps writing as he keeps maturing and moving through different phases of life.

This book was hard to relate to. I very much appreciate his effort in life and the point of his message, but it's very hard, as an ordinary middle class person, to relate to his stories. His stories range from "rich people stuff" to "3rd world country stuff".
Again, the message and ideas are good. I think that I was spoiled to be exposed to Bob Goff, who is far more relatable.

I got an ARC of this to shit all over it. Cause Tebow is a Total cunt. Complete religious asshole. BUT, I got such a nice letter from the publisher that i feel bad about it. I just really hate that christians feel this need to natter at us about the light that blinds them from with in.
