"I am a football fan, watch as much of it as I can get by with and I enjoyed this book about a player whom I've never thought much about, the person who gets the ball to the kicker or the kicker's holder. We think of the kicker, all the tension of those game winning kicks or game losing misses, but never considered what goes into those kicks. This is the story of one of those long snappers, Brian Kinchen, who, after being out of the NFL for more than a year, gets offered a job with a team that is hopefully Super Bowl bound. I enjoyed the book, joining Brian on his journey. I would have liked to have the story fleshed out a bit more, knowing more about what happens behind the scenes of a pro football team, the personalities, egos, etc, but I understand that isn't the focus of the book, which is more of a look at the whole thing froma spiritual perspective. It is told in a very straight-forward style, not trying to dramatize it, which I think worked very well. The story itself is dramatic enough without adding any flowery language or descriptions to it. I'd recommend it mostly to those who are football fans or looking for a spiritual story.

"This is the charming story of the 38 yr old retired long snapper who the patriots called on the help win the their 2003 season. Its a heart warming Cinderella like story. The writing is really good especially the descriptions of the football games, which definitely had me gripping the edges of the book. It is a short book, but it can become tedious at times, particularly all the religious talk. Overall its an enjoyable, short read."
"This is the story of Brian Kinchen, whose football career had been over for three years. Then he was called up to play for the New England Patriot in the 2004 Super Bowl game. This is not just a story about football...it is about life lessons...never giving up, believing in yourself, and always doing your best. Very inspirational book, with a definite religious overtone."
"Now, let me start by saying that I have had bad experiences with nonfiction books in my reading past--the stories were interesting, but the authors were simply not capable of making it interesting enough to hold my attention. That was not the case with this book. Marx's writing was a pleasant surprise that not only kept my attention but my interest as well. Job well done..."
