Quiet Strength
Tony Dungy

Tyndale ©2007
When I bought my copy of Quiet Strength by Tony Dungy, I’d just finished a conversation with David McNamee, one of the BookStore Staffers. He’s always up on sports and was quite complimentary regarding the professional and Christian attributes of this kind and gentle man. I knew of Coach Dungy previously only as the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, the victor of Super Bowl XLI, and now sometime television anchor.
There is much to admire about this man as athlete, coach, mentor, husband, father, and friend. But more inspiring still is the story of his walk with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Coach Dungy determined early on in life how he would behave and whom he would follow. Through the various challenges of professional sports, married life and rearing children, he has tried to follow such principles and teachings—making many difficult choices along the way—that honors the Lord in all things.
With Quiet Strength, we have a memoir that is instructive, enlightening, encouraging and entertaining. It’s about the priorities, choices, approaches, and habits that lead to being a winner. It’s about you and me and our journey in this world together. It’s about the things I’ve learned, the mistakes I’ve made, and the heartaches that have made me lean into the Father’s presence. I hope that when it’s all said and done, you’ll see that it’s really all about Him (from the Preface).
