Look Again: Recognize Your Worth, Renew Your Hope, Run with Confidence

Former NFL quarterback Tebow (Through My Eyes) shares an inspiring invitation for readers to see themselves and others through God’s eyes. The book is grounded in the notion that one’s worth is not based on skill or ability but an inherent “value, a royal and familial identity” bestowed by God. This truth, Tebow writes, should empower readers to both value themselves and to help marginalized people in whom the same divine spark resides. He points in particular to members of the disabled community, the group to which Jesus devoted much of his life and nearly all his miracles, even though they were “written off” by much of society. Woven throughout are passages on how the author’s faith evolved in conjunction with the creation of his Guatemalan mission Tebow Down, which provides services and education to developmentally disabled children. These stories highlight how recognizing God’s image in others individually and collectively can help guard against an increasing sense of disconnection from God and community. The result is an invigorating and often tender call for believers to love their neighbors as themselves. (Nov.)
