PRAISE FOR THE MAKING OF A MAN Tim Brown was a great player, teammate, and friend. Now he’s written The Making of a Man, which tells the story of his journey to the Heisman, the Raiders, and becoming an NFL star. More important, he tells what it means to become a man who makes a difference. This is a great read into the man behind the legend. I highly recommend this book. — MARCUS ALLEN Former Heisman Trophy Winner NFL Hall of Fame Running Back and Super Bowl XLVIII MVP This honest and up close play-by-play of the amazing life of Tim Brown is a great read and a powerful, compelling testimony. The gift of this story will help men find the true north that God has for them. — C. JEFFREY WRIGHT CEO, UMI (Urban Ministries Inc.) Over the years, I’ve respected Tim Brown as an NFL opponent, a teammate, and a friend. In The Making of a Man, you will read what has made Tim the man he is today and learn vital lessons on what being a man is all about. Whether young or old, every guy should read this book. — JERRY RICE NFL Hall of Fame Wide Receiver Three-Time Super Bowl Champion I’ve had the privilege of knowing Tim for over thirty years now. I’ve seen him beat the odds in many different areas of life, especially as a father and a mentor. I believe this book will help bring out your true greatness as you read stories about Tim’s successes and struggles, and as you’re inspired by his commitment to integrity as well as the life principles and the faith that have carried him through. — CAREY CASEY CEO, National Center for Fathering fathers.com © 2014 Tim Brown All rights reserved.
