Free Sting: Moment Of Truth Ebooks To Download
Life was one big act for wrestling super star Steve Borden, a.k.a. Sting. On the home front, however, his marriage faltered on the brink of failure while he took the fast track in his wrestling career-and to a radical entertainer lifestyle, including an addiction to prescription drugs. Confessing his problems to his wife was the beginning of a process that brought the prideful, self-sufficient champion to his knees. It was to be the greatest wrestling match of his life, and God was taking him to the mat. God had been planting seeds in Borden's life from the time he entered professional wrestling-his brother and sisters's conversions and witnesses, his family's prayers, the witness of wrestler Ted Dibiasi-and the peace and joy he saw in the lives of other Christians. Now, the confrontation by his wife, whom he didn't want to lose, plus the fear of life without his two young sons, made his fame and fortune worthless. He was humbled. That was in August 1998. Sting became a new man in Christ and his marriage was restored. Today, he drops scriptures into conversation as easily and naturally as he once dropped opponents in the ring. He still loves a challenge, but where he once relied on a fluorescent face and shocking stunts, he now tackles each challenge with a firm faith in Christ alone.

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.
Sting had to go through some tough stuff before he got it right. Quite a few wrestlers his age are not around anymore. I am glad he made the positive decisions that have changed his life for the better! He is still a superstar, God Bless.
This is a very small hard cover book. It has full color photos on many pages, a glossy cover, and cool design. Unfortunately, it is short and appears to be a promo for Sting's indie film from years ago.I am a huge fan, so I did like his story of how he became a Born Again Christian, but wrestling fans may want more inside info. He focuses on things that made an emotional memory to him, like his outside of the ring life, coming up with the Ultimate Warrior, and Ric Flair giving him a break.
I like the quality of this book and the price was great. The only complaint I have is that the book itself was a little thin and light on Sting himself. It was too vague and glossed over things rather than getting in-depth more. However, I'm not sure the actual point to this. Was it simply to gloss over his career? Or was it supposed to be an in-depth look at him? Not sure which. If it's the former, than it did its job well. If the latter, than it definitely is lacking. Shipment was fast and quality of book itself upon delivery was excellent.
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.
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.
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.
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!
