Reader reviews for Centered: Trading Your Plans for a Life That Matters

From the publisher

This riveting story of a top-earning NFL center and his family who walked away from it all to follow God's call to alleviate hunger as farmers--a life they knew absolutely nothing about--illustrates the sacrifice and ultimate reward of obedience to our heavenly Father even when it doesn't make earthly sense.

"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.

Centered is 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.

About the author

Jason Brown grew up in Henderson, North Carolina. He went on to attend the University of North Carolina, where he played both guard and tackle before moving to center. He never missed a game. He was drafted in the fourth round by the Baltimore Ravens in 2005. Brown became a free agent in 2009 and was signed by the St. Louis Rams for $37.5 million, making him the highest-paid center in the league. He was again a free agent three years later, but rather than signing a new contract, Brown left the NFL and bought a thousand-acre farm in Louisburg, North Carolina. Brown has been farming full-time since 2013, and he gives away nearly everything he grows (mostly sweet potatoes). He and his wife, Tay, have been married since 2003 and have eight children.
