Inspired, Inspiring, and inspirational.

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 15. Oktober 2010

Verifizierter Kauf

As inspiring is the life of former Hall of Fame football star and elected associate "justice for all", Alan C Page, so too is the story of his life and the way in which it is presented by the writing artist, Bill McGrane. It is graced with a long forward written by former U.S. President, William J Clinton. In this book, you will come to know Alan and his extended family in a way you never could from a face-to-face meeting. You will hear highlights and experiences from Alan's days playing college football at Notre Dame, to his professional accomplishments in the NFL, playing for The Minnesota Vikings and The Chicago Bears. You will follow his path as he exits professional football while studying law and caring for a family, to becoming a lawyer, an assistant to the State Attorney General (Hubert "Skip" H. Humphrey III) and the first African American named to the Minnesota Supreme Court, as well as the first African American ever to hold a statewide office. Learn how loyal husband and wife team, Diane and Alan, create and grow The Page Education Foundation to be the vehicle by which they empower youth, activate them, and keep them giving back to the foundation and, in effect, our communities. In the chapter entitled "All Rise", I found the following words: "...what would happen if all of us would rise? What if all of us ignored the reasons why we couldn't or shouldn't, and went out and made a difference in the lives of others? And in our own lives-the two work together, actually". It's a powerful message written by Bill McGrane, inspired by The Honorable Alan C Page, his family and the Page Education Foundation, and offered to you for discovery as your opportunity to take part in an "All-Rising". Spread the word, share the book. All Rise!

Alan Page's "Rush" to Justice

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 30. September 2010

Verifizierter Kauf

I remember reading regular pieces from Bill McGrane that appeared in NFL game programs during the 1970s and 80s and always enjoyed his warm, personal approach to writing about football. He couldn't have picked a more appropriate subject to apply that style to than Alan Page, as good a role model as professional American sports has ever produced. Justice Page's life is remarkable on so many levels -- from athletic achievement to the law and then philanthrophy. McGrane's book documents each of them in a quiet, measured but effective style -- much like the subject whom he's writing about.

I saw Alan Page play during his entire career -- and there really was nobody like him either before or since. Late in his career he couldn't have weighed more than 225 pounds -- yet still routinely defeated blockers much larger than that by using intelligence and instincts. Those attributes obviously served him well after his playing days -- and they are illustrated in full throughout this book. Football fans will love the recollections of NFL players from the past. Legal eagles will be engaged by the often complex and emotionally-charged issues Page has dealt with throughout his law career. And everyone will be touched by the great works achieved through the Page Education Foundation -- an organization whose outreach has improved lives for so many. At a time when there is (rightfully) so much anger and cynicism over what troubles our society, Alan Page's story is a healing tonic that illustrates what can be done to improve one's self -- and the lives of others.

An Exceptional Man

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 16. April 2013

Verifizierter Kauf

I "knew" Alan at Notre Dame in the sense that we both took an advanced government class that was taught by a very demanding professor. The professor was great but tons of reading and only one test meant that it was a sink or swim proposition. I was happy when a received a good mark on my exam but in the course of finding my exam book I saw Alan's. He received a lower mark but still a very respectable effort. I was in awe that this guy who was such a talent on the football field and a genuinely nice guy could also do so well in a course that I struggled with while also being a football star. Makes you feel pretty humble. He is a great man.

A remarkable man

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 14. Februar 2011

Verifizierter Kauf

As a football fan who lived in Minneapolis during Alan Page's playing days, I found ALL RISE very interesting. Beyond that, whether one is a football fan or not, this is must reading for anyone who cares about the U.S. Because Alan Page's "Remarkable Journey" proves more than ever that this is a country where a striver with self-discipline and the work ethic can achieve his or her heart's desire. Should be required reading for all students.

I wanted to like this book,it was featherweight and left me empty

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 12. September 2011

Verifizierter Kauf

Alan Page is one of my all time faves. Smart fast tough.not a man to see at a saloon or on espn with the buffoons yucking it up, he was a thinker and a bruiser.His post football career is AT LEAST as interesting as his playing days.This reads like it was written by a well meaning family friend.Not poorly, not mean spirited just vacuous.I did not think it POSSIBLE to make Alan Page's life boring.the author succeeded. Now, Page declined to be interviewed for this book, which certainly makes it problematic and far more difficult for the author. Still... a wasted opportunity to read about a truly fascinating man. Too bad.
