Publisher's Description
Popular Speaker Reveals That Every Trial Is an OpportunityA football blitz is an attack to force the quarterback into a mistake and create mayhem. But a blitz also creates an opportunity for the quarterback, as it leaves holes in the defense. What looks like the worst play can become the best play. During a life blitz--financially, relationally, spiritually, or physically--by taking initiative you can do more than just survive. You can grow, succeed, and advance. Jeff shares lessons learned through all kinds of blitzes. He teaches how life is about transformation and being others-oriented, and how having the right mind-set can turn fear and misery into courage, growth, and joy. Includes end-of-chapter questions. Now in paper.

“This book could change your life—or help you to help another who has suffered a ‘blitz’—a devastating loss, defeat, or humiliation. Jeff Kemp, a former pro quarterback and a faith-filled family advocate, inspires us by citing examples in his own life and others’, to understand that we can convert a terrible present into a bright future.”
“As a quarterback in college and professional ranks, Jeff Kemp knows the blitz well and gives us preparation and training for life’s blitzes. He is a very transparent guy and, as you read this book, you will want to share it with others. This is a message not only for men but for women as well.”
“When I first read the title of Jeff’s book Facing the Blitz, it put a smile on my face. As a former quarterback and then a quarterback coach, it was my job to prepare athletes for the possibility of overwhelming attack. Jeff Kemp was a great quarterback and a wonderful student. He was as prepared as any quarterback I have coached to handle the blitz as well as other difficult situations on the field. Now he has taken the lessons he learned on the field and applied them to life. This book is a must-read for all of us. Tests and trials are a part of the human condition; no one is immune to the challenges of facing adversity. My hope is that, by reading this book, we all may be better equipped to deal with tough situations and emerge stronger and wiser from the experience.”
“Jeff is a man of deep faith, love, and leadership. I have tremendous admiration for Jeff and his approach to living a complete and healthy life.
