5.0 out of 5 stars A unique and inspiring book of devotionals, December 12, 2004

By

This review is from: Darrell Waltrip One-on-One (Hardcover)

As an Author, Coach, and Motivational Speaker I read alot of books about people, their motivations, and their relationships. Darrell Waltrip One-on-One is a straightforward statement of faith and inspiration by a NASCAR Champion working with his co-author, Jay Carty, a former NBA player and traveling preacher.

One-on-One consists of 60 daily devotionals. Each devotional starts with a life lesson by Waltrip and ends with a personal or biblical support by preacher Carty. Scripture readings are included for each day.

The stories are informative, educational, and inspiring.

- There's Darrell learning a lesson about foolish decisions that cost him a race, a car, and time in the hospital.

- Waltrip's common bond with his "frienemy" Dale Earnhardt, scripture verses written on duct tape provided by Darrell's wife Stevie before each race.

- The miracle healing of Darrell's arm after a wreck in 1990.

- The value of keeping focused on the big picture to win at racing and in life.

With each Waltrip story there's a story by Carty that serves to clarify, explain, and educate about the topic of the devotional.

If you're looking for an inspiring, motivating, and faith filled book written from a unique perspective then I recommend you buy a copy of Darrell Waltrip One-on-One: The faith that took him to the finish line.

5.0 out of 5 stars Start your day with DW!, June 29, 2004

By 

"coverdalegirl" (New Brunswick, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Darrell Waltrip One-on-One (Hardcover)

A great way to start the day! The book is basically 60 days of short, 2 page, readings. The first page is a personal story, told as only DW can tell it. The next page takes the story, applies it to Scripture, and gives a nice life application. I especially like the stories about DW's "frienenemy" Dale Earnhardt, Sr. A must for any NASCAR fan who wants to know what makes DW tick.

By working with a winner, Jay Carty has another winner!! In this book, the faith of DW comes forth to show that he is not only a winner on the track, but more importantly he is a winner off the track with his wife and kids and most importantly with the Lord!
