Amazing Book!

As a young football Coach this book provided a lot of wisdom and good advice. Season of Life is a book that takes the reader through the season of a football team. It takes you through the ups and downs, the glory and the heartache. This book has been endorsed and recommended by the FCA. This book is so real to those of us who know what coaching is like. Its honest, emotional and inspiring. I recommend it to those who have not read it. It should be a must read for all coaches.

Loved it!

I absolutly loved this book! Jeffery Marx is such powerful writer, he moved me deeply within the first few chapters of this impressive novel. This book has a powerful message and it is a fantastic read. The writer teaches you what it truly means to be a man and have integrity. Reading this book will give you a whole new look on life and you will be changed forever. This book is the most powerful novel I have read in a long time. I recommend this book to anyone, teens and adults alike.

Reach your adolescent athlete

I recently purchased this book as a gift for a young man who seems to be losing his way in life but is passionate about football. I read it from cover to cover in one sitting. The prose is clean and simple, but the ideas are big and probably a bit scary for teens and for those of us who have never truthfully confronted some of life's great issues. Marx takes the most taboo subject for men-- love-- and makes it noble. His plan for "how to become a man" is indispensable for anyone who loves a budding male athlete. Of course, this same principles apply to society at large, but children who play or enjoy football will relate best to this book. Do not wait to give this book as a graduation gift--give it to your young athlete before they have a chance to be scarred by an abusive coach or influenced by questionable friends. After having read it before giving it to my student, I am planning to buy a second copy for my husband.

A Touching and Valuable Book

Do you have someone in your life that just inspires you? Are they a man built for others? In Season of Life, there is a true man, a man built for others. The book is an inspirational nonfiction book and Jeffrey Marx, the author of the book, is a ball boy for the Colts because he had a tennis camp across the street of the Colts stadium. He becomes friends with Colt Joe Ehrmann. 15 years later, in Baltimore, Maryland, around 2000, Joe is an activist for the needy, and Joe and Jeffrey meet again; much has changed about the two. I like this book because it is a useful book, because it is about friends, I say this because on page 83 Mike and Ambrose, two players on the team talk to each other after a loss, "'I'm proud of you, man' said Mike. `I'm so proud of you too." Said Ambrose". This is showing the friendship displayed. The book is being a man for others, meaning you must be caring towards others, which is the theme. The quote also supports that, because they are being men built for others by being true friends. That quote shows what inspirational value this book has, and why I like the book. This is a good book for 8th graders and older, and is useful for all.

Great read for non-readers!

I purchased this book for my husband for Christmas. My husband does not read books normally, but he loves sports, so I felt this one was fitting. He read it within a week or two and passed it on to a co-worker. It is a book about life, and he actually was quoting from it after he read it. He loved it and wants our boys to read it too.
