>> For Young Men
UNCOMMON is a series of short homilies by Tony Dungy discussing such things as character self discipline sexual purity being a role model and many others It is primarily aimed at younger men who may not have had strong male role models growing up as they begin to make life defining choices about living their life
Tony relates many anecdotes from his own life interactions and lessons from his parents and other relatives as well as his wife and family and career While these stories are interesting the overall effect seems a bit bland and repetitive general advice of the be good and eat your vegetables variety about avoiding self destructive behaviors making choices etc As with many books by/about sports figures this book is at risk of becoming rapidly dated as time marches on and fewer of the target readership demographic are familiar with the specific NFL personalities mentioned And the glitzy world of professional sports does not always provide close parallels with the challenges and trials of lower profile occupations with real world consequences where lives may be at risk and work life balance may be difficult or impossible to maintain medicine public safety emergency services the military etc Nevertheless there are some real gems in various passages such as the idea of self fulfilling prophecies or appreciating our individual uniqueness in God s plan that make this book worth the read for anyone And the final chapters on eternal self esteem relationship with Christ faith purpose and significance build to a strong crescendo of uplifting concluding thoughts
