As a Sting fan for many years I have been waiting for a book about the man! This book is a great read and can be done in an hour or two. There are some great personal photos of Sting and his family as well as some shots from the ring.

I view this as a 'cliff notes' version of the full Stinger story. I am hoping there will be a second, more detailed book coming out in the future with stories of the great matches, personal struggles and more. We can only hope.

I would have rated this book a 5 star if it was longer with a more detailed account of Stings struggles and triumphs.

This is the best book out if u are looking to get inspired. This is a great read and i sugest everyone to look into getting it. If you are even a slight fan of sting you should definetly get this book. It gives you the inside on his life and this strugle with sin. It is my favorit item out about sting i have seen or read. PICK THIS BOOK UP AND READ IT.

OK, so maybe it DOESN'T deserve 4 stars, but it is one of the rare books that move you and that make you feel touched.

Just like Castaneda's Journey to Ixtlan book, it contains life story of a man who felt reformed by, in Borden's book, some Higher Good and faith in something UNmundane.

I have always enjoyed watching Sting perform and have missed him,the business is not the same any more and not worth watching. It was interesting to read about what was happening with his personal and spiritual life and to read about his growth. It was truly inspiring and nice to see something positive for a change. For people who don't believe, they may not understand it but for those of us who do, we applaud his courage and willingness to spread the good news!

I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick and easy read, and had some interesting info about wrestling, though probably not as in-depth as other wrestling books (I'm not a super-huge fan).

Though I really enjoyed this book and it really spoke to me. It really shows his faith in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, which was interesting to me to see how someone in the wrestling industry came to know the Living God.

First of all, I suggest reading this book if you watch the movie. It provides more in-depth and sequential information as to the life and career of Sting than the movie does. Overall, I was very happy with the book and enjoyed some of the personal photos of Steve and his family. His story is an amazing one, a story that can inspire anyone who may think that they have it all.
The only reason that this book does not get 5 stars is because it was far too short. I was able to sit down and read it within an hour or two. But as a fan of Sting's since he entered the NWA in the late 1980's, the book was well worth the money.

This book lacks information, it is a very short read and not a good account of this great wrestler's career.

Having grown up a WCW fan (and even a Jim Crockett Promtions/NWA fan), and being recently returned to The Lord's family (after nearly a "20-year detour off the path"), I wanted to read this book about how Sting made his conversion into Christianity. While this book was very moving I, also, felt that it was too short to really get to know/see how he balanced his whole persona/life of Steve Borden versus that of his wrestling character Sting; and the struggles of trying to balance the two identities without self-imploding on himself or ending up like many other professional wrestlers do. I also bought the accompanying DVD to go with this, but have yet to watch it. But for a quick read for someone who is either considering giving theirselves to The Lord or has "walked off the path" I would recommend this book (also, being a wrestling fan of the whole "Monday Night Wars" era may help). Hopefully one day Sting/Steve Borden will give us the full biography and not just the teaser that I felt this book was.

Steve Borden was at the ultimate crossroads of his life.

As the character, Sting, he achieved iconic status in professional wrestling, one of a few performers who could tear the roof off of any arena in the world with his persona and signature finishing moves for victory.

But Sting couldn't assist Steve Borden on that day in August 1998, the ring makeup was off and it wasn't about the promoters & fans, it was about family. Addicted to prescription drugs and years of living a fast-lane lifestyle of a pop star, Steve Borden was on the verge of losing his wife and two young children.

It was his moment of truth.

The reader takes the journey with Steve Borden as he puts his ego aside and confronts the demons that are damaging not only his soul, but destroying the ones who love him the most.

This is a side of Steve Borden that you may not know about before picking up the book; it's how he got on his knees, raised his arms and looked up to the sky to accept the ultimate guidance in the main event of life.

This book is a great and helpful book for christians who have fallen off their path. Sting is one of my favorite wrestlers. I am very proud to say that because he is a christian. I cant wait for the movie to come out. I do believe that the book was short and sweet but I wanted it to be longer.
