"A remarkable story where family, deep self-reflection, and an unshakable belief in a path predestined by God triumph over fortune and comfort."-John Harbaugh, head coach of the Baltimore Ravens
NFL lineman Jason Brown had everything in the world. He was the highest-paid center in the game. He lived in luxury. Millions of people saw and admired him every week. Then in 2012, Jason heard a call from God that changed everything.
Leaving behind an incredibly successful football career that paid millions, Jason turned toward a life he knew nothing about- farming. It was only the beginning of his journey. Through third-party mismanagement and a run of bad luck, Jason lost most of the money he'd saved from his NFL days-the same money he'd planned to use to start his new career and donate fresh produce to hungry kids. Only a miracle could save Jason's new dream.
And that's exactly what happened.
Centeredis an inspiring riches-to-rags-to-true-riches story of one man willing to risk it all for the sake of his family. For the sake of loving others. For the sake of seeking God's dreams first-and reminding each of us to do the same.

This book is definitely worth reading! It is inspiring and leaves you thinking about your life, the decisions you make, and your faith. We all go through really low times, but God can turn those into beautiful realities! I cried a few times while reading this book because it touches your heart. It is easy to resonate with the character and the book is written in first person as he tells about his own life. I have already recommended this book to friends! It would be great for a book club to discuss, too!
