Publisher Description
What exactly is manhood? How do guys get there?
Tim Brown won the Heisman Trophy at Notre Dame and starred in the NFL for seventeen seasons. He left the game as a Los Angeles and Oakland Raiders legend and one of the most respected men in sports. Now “Mr. Raider” shares his amazing journey—the triumphs, the heartbreaks, the struggles with women, Al Davis, and God—as well as the principles and priorities that made him the man he is today.
Much more than a sports memoir, The Making of a Man reveals how faith, family, honor, and integrity have everything to do with true manhood and a life well-lived. Whether you are a rabid fan or have little interest in football, a young boy or already facing the fourth quarter of your life, these pages will both challenge and inspire you to become the man you’ve always known you could be.
Back Cover:
When a man comes into your life and shows you something about yourself that you didn’t know was in you, it’s remarkable. The Apostle Paul did that for Timothy, encouraging him to preach and teach and reminding him, “Do not neglect your gift” (1 Tim. 4:14). Paul was a mentor to Timothy, ready to point out the gifts of his protégé and willing to help develop those gifts and pass on his knowledge. Lou Holtz did the same for me, as well as for a whole lot of other guys. That’s what a mentor does. I’ll always be grateful that he inspired me to believe in myself.

Great book
This book is perfect for any young men who want to learn about how God wants us to mature. Tim Brown is very humble and is a great example of someone who is using their level of influence for the good. He teaches us through his mistakes and achievements in his life. I'd recommend it to any young man, especially football fans.
The Making of a Man
An extraordinary journey and a life well lived. If this does not help you restore your relationship with God then I do not know what will. Thank you Timothy Brown for sharing your story and restoring my faith in God. The platform The Lord has placed you on has allowed you to reach yet another person. JR
