Tim Tebow to Host Author Event at Books-A-Million, 10/28

Tim Tebow, popular sports personality and author, will celebrate the launch of his powerful new book, "Shaken: Discovering Your True Identity in the Midst of Life's Storms" on Friday, October 28 at 12 p.m. at Books-A-Million in Jacksonville, located at the Orange Park Mall at 1910 Wells Road.

As a two-time national champion, first-round NFL draft pick, Heisman trophy winner, professional baseball player, college football analyst and author, Tebow's long line of accolades may lead some to believe life has never dealt him a wrong hand. Despite the fame and fortune, the popular athlete knows personally the trials and tribulations of rejection and broken dreams. Following an exceptional college football career with the University of Florida and a promising playoff run with the Denver Broncos, Tebow was traded to the New York Jets and released after only one season. Through it all, Tebow clung to the truth that his identity is based on God alone and not the world around him.

In the riveting and honest "Shaken: Discovering Your True Identity in the Midst of Life's Storms," Tebow passionately shares glimpses of his journey and candidly speaks about how he stays grounded in the face of disappointment, criticism and intense media scrutiny. The inspirational book also features practical wisdom from Scripture and insights gained from others who have impacted him in life-changing ways.

Wristbands are required to attend the author event and are available online at tebowbam.eventbrite.com or at the Orange Park Mall Books-A-Million store starting Tuesday, October 25, while supplies last. Wristbands include admission to the event, as well as a copy of "Shaken." Upon arrival, attendees with pre-purchased wristbands will queue to receive a copy of the new book (limit of three copies per person).
