Book Reviews of God In My Corner: A Spiritual Memoir

Book Review: Following in the footsteps of his 2002 classic
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this book today...what a pleasant surprise. My first reaction is that is is an expanded, faith-based revisiting of the material George covered in 2002's excellent "George Foreman's Guide to Life: How to Get Up Off the Canvas When Life Knocks You Down."

There is a sense of wisdom, of humilty, of compassion that comes through in George's books. It's not a book designed to make you feel good about yourself. It's a book that encourages the reader to take every day as it comes, good or bad, and just keep putting one foot in front of the other.

The 18 chapters are titled "The Phone Call That Changed My Life," "The Day I Died," "Get Me A Hit Man," "What Will People Think Of Me," "A Fighting Preacher," "Being Optimistic In A Pessimistic World," "Appreciate Today," "God Will Direct Your Steps," "The Worst Thing Can Be The Best Thing," "Inspiring Others To Excellence," "Advancing Through Adversity," "Integrity - Don't Leave Home Without It," "When Opportunity Knocks, Answer The Door," "The Secret Of Success," "Do Your Giving While You're Living," "Age Forty Isn't A Death Sentence," "Why I Named All My Sons George," and "Will I Meet You In Heaven?"

This is not a "pie in the sky" look at life through rose-colored glasses. George acknowledges life for what it is: demanding, challenging, and ultimately rewarding. Your attitude determines the actions you will or will not take. Go back to the first paragraph of my review and re-read the title of his 2002 book. That's George's testimony. That's what the book is about.

Summary of God In My Corner: A Spiritual Memoir

George Foreman is one of the most highly recognizable figures on the planet. God in My Corner tells not only the life story of George, but more importantly, it tells how God has been behind the scenes of every part of his life--from a boyhood marked by scrapes with the law, to Olympian gold medalist, to tow-time heavyweight champion of the world, to father of a family of ten, to ordained minister, to founder of The George Foreman Youth Community Center, to successful businessman. God has been there every step of the way, building George into a man of faith who is seen worldwide as a positive role model and man whose face is always beaming with the joy that only God can give. Now George shares those life lessons with the world.
