My Dad
loves football, as a result my siblings and I have grown up watching,
talking and playing it. (Though I haven't done much of the
'playing' since my brothers passed 5ft. It got a little to intense
for me.) With such a background I was quite familiar with names
like 'John Elway', Tony Dungy and Tim Tebow.(My father's heroes.)
So
when I saw that a book by Coach Dungy was available for review from
Tyndale Publishing I was intrigued. And the more I learned about
'The Uncommon Daily Life Challenge' the more I wanted to read it. I was
so excited, that I requested a PDF copy and read that even
before that actual book arrived at my door. It was totally worth it!
The format and practical genres were great, but they were nothing in
comparison to the actual words. Take this quote from Jan. 3rd,
for instance.
“We have a perfect
role model.
Christ is our
example on how to treat other people.
Christ is out
example on the influence we can and should have on those around us.
No
other role model even comes close to Him.”
After reading that I realized that all
to often I have gotten caught up in finding and reading good books by
good men and forgotten about the best Book and the perfect Man.
In
Philippians 3:12 Paul states that he is striving for the perfection
of Christ. No one will ever be perfect in this lifetime, but I
realized that I should be HOURLY striving to be like Christ. Not only
that, I should be looking around to see who I can challenge to do the
same thing.
One of
my favorite things about this book is the 'Uncommon Keys'
at the bottom of each page. For example the one fore Jan 3rd
was this-
“Today
and everyday, remember that you are a personal representative of
Jesus Christ. Always strive for perfection of Christ- for yourself
and for those around you.”

I
definitely rate this a 5 star! That is why I am offering a copy of it in my New Year Giveaway.
May God Bless you!
