Book Tour Update #8: Las Vegas/Birmingham


   January 19th, 2008

My favorite part about Vegas was eating at Morton’s. As those of you who read the book know, Audra and I had our first wedding anniversary dinner there and seeing that table brought back a lot of memories. Honey, if you’re reading this, I miss you a lot! If you’re not reading this, I still miss you!

Tonight is the last stop on the book tour and we’ll be in Rome, GA, and I’ll start signing as soon as the doors open at 7:00 PM. Click here for the tour schedule.

Hi Matt:

I think I am the Jewish fan you are thinking of. I would have enjoyed taking my sons to one of your signings, but none were close enough to my home.
In any event, congrats on the success of the book. You are a great role model, and you are doing a wonderful and important deed by using your fame to promote awareness of and love for G-d.
I pray that you continue to be blessed in all that you do.

Steven

Matt,
I’m new to the sport and I guess a new fan. I read your entire book in two days, and a few days ago rented UFC 63. I only got it because it featured you and Jens. I was sorry the night didn’t go as well for Jens, but I wanted to comment on your reaction after the fight. Since I had read the book, I knew all about the mix up with GSP. It was cool to see it though and know what had happened.

More importantly, I noticed in your post fight comments how you “struggled” (I couldn’t think of a better word) with your humanity and Christ-likeness. I cannot imagine how it feels to win a fight of that magnitude and as a Christian, I was encouraged to see you talk as any human would (confident, proud, etc.) and then almost switch gears and give credit to God. I hope that doesn’t sound bad. I do mean it complimentary. I was able to see you as a superstar, but a human being, and most importantly as a Christian who has the same struggles I do.
