Following Deion's evolution from Prime Time to Coach Prime. This is the perfect time to gift Deion's inspirational, redemptive story to the football and sports fans in your life.
College and Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders tells his powerful life story, revealing how power, money, and sex could not satisfy the void in his life--a void ultimately satisfied by his relationship with Christ.
After scoring touchdowns and dancing in the end zone, after a stadium full of cheering fans had finally gone home, I was still empty inside. --Deion Sanders
It's a story as old as time, a nightmare as shocking as tomorrow's headlines: A talented young athlete rockets to fame and fortune, becoming the highest-paid player in football history. But what he finds when he reaches the pinnacle of success is not the glory he had expected.
This is Deion's story, in his own words, with all the drama, hope, glamour, and surprise of his true-life adventures. In Power, Money & Sex, for the first time ever, Deion tells the behind-the-scenes story of:
- His rise to fame
- His attempted suicide
- The shocking events that led him to faith in God and a new vision and purpose for his life
Explore the evolution of a superstar and be inspired as you witness a life transformed and moved from despair to hope. Most of all, Power, Money & Sex will show you that no matter your circumstances or accomplishments we all face moments of hopelessness, but new life and redemption are always possible and closer than you can imagine.
