Like most of Bowden's books, this one is filled with stories from his football coaching career. But what sets this one apart is how he infused his Christian faith into the highs and lows of not only his storied career, but his life as well. Football fans in general, and of course FSU fans specifically, would enjoy this often funny and poignant book by college football's greatest head coach!

Unless you're a Seminole/Bobby Bowden fan, you probably won't find this book very interesting. "The Bowden Way" is a much better book for the general populace, especially those who want advice about hiring and managing an organization.

Being a '92 grad of FSU, Bowden's been a big part of my life (vicariously, of course). I'd actually read this book years ago, but thought I'd revisit it. It's one of those books you can learn a lot from, even if you're not a football/FSU fan. Sure, he tells stories of the gridiron, but they're always relevant to the leadership point he's making. For people who think head coaches (especially guys like Bowden or Joe Paterno) are just figureheads, look into this book and you'll see how truly ingrained into his team and program Bowden is (was...sigh). Highly recommended for people looking for help with leadership skills and some great football stories.… (mais)
