First published 2000
Kurt Warner stands on the field as Super Bowl XXXIV slips away from the St. Louis Rams. The team needs their quarterback to deliver one final miracle and claim their first championship in decades. Warner carries the weight of an unlikely journey from rural poverty and athletic obscurity to the NFL's biggest stage. Nobody expected greatness from him, yet here he stands as the confident leader who wants the ball when everything hangs in the balance. Warner recounts every step of his path to this moment, taking readers inside the huddle, onto the sidelines, and into the locker room during the Rams' historic season. His story weaves together his pursuit of football glory with his devotion to family and faith in God's guidance. Through setbacks and breakthroughs, Warner demonstrates how a man can overcome any obstacle when he grounds his life in love, respect, and trust.
