Encouragement for Men 
Along with 13 other men, I meet each Friday morning at 6 a.m. for an hour of bible study. We are current using Tony Dungy's Quite Strenth. This is a tremendous book for men who need encouragement, as they deal with life's challenges. The study has made it easy for the men to open up and share with the group in a way that I never thought possible. I facilitate the discussion and have had several men tell me they look forward to the session each week. Tony has based the study on strong christian principles backed by scripture. Excellent study!
great
I thought this book was very helpful in how one obtains and uses our inner strength with God.
An enlightening, inspiring and moving memoir
This book is a tremendously inspiring and educational story of a remarkable man and a remarkable life. There is much to learn about football, coaching, leadership, principles, family, and, most of all, faith. As a father, a son, a football fan, and a hopeful leader, there was much for me to learn with how Dungy has lead his life thus far. Having endured professional disappointment and great family tragedy, all under the ever-watching eye of the media, he has showed incredible strength and character. He is a model for all men, athletes and leaders. A great book and an easy read. Highly recommended for all.
Great Book
I read the entire book the day I started. I could not put it down.
Faith. Family. Football.
QUIET STRENGTH is an inspirational autobiography of an inspirational coach, leader and Christian. Tony Dungy offers a glimpse into his mind, heart and spirit as he lives the life of the believer in the rough-and-tumble world of the NFL.
Dungy traces his history from growing up with parents he adored and who set a loving example to his own manhood, athletic career and marriage to Lauren. He re-traces the steps God led him through, the victories and defeats, the joys and the sorrows.
He writes simply and powerfully about his faith, football and family. His efforts to "walk the walk" of the modern Christian are uplifting. His up and down career in pro football is triumphant. His love for and focus on his family is a lesson for every husband and Dad. Dungy breaks our hearts retelling the story of his son Jaime's suicide.
There are lessons here galore as Dungy writes honestly about his failures as well as his success, his defeats and his victories. We find examples of grace, love, forgiveness, faithfulness, and courage which fan our faith into an open flame.
Tony Dungy is the real deal. He is living the victorious Christian life as loving husband and father off the field and servant leader on the field. God bless him and his family.
