Overview
The life story of George Foreman is shared in this account of how God has built George into a man of faith who is seen worldwide as a positive role model.
Publishers Description
George Foreman is one of the most highly recognizable figures on the planet. God in My Corner tells not only the life story of George, but more importantly, it tells how God has been behind the scenes of every part of his life--from a boyhood marked by scrapes with the law, to Olympian gold medalist, to tow-time heavyweight champion of the world, to father of a family of ten, to ordained minister, to founder of The George Foreman Youth Community Center, to successful businessman. God has been there every step of the way, building George into a man of faith who is seen worldwide as a positive role model and man whose face is always beaming with the joy that only God can give. Now George shares those life lessons with the world. |

 | Great book for the book from George Foreman, great amazon seller Jun 3, 2009 |
| This book was a gift for my Dad. The book was good and the seller delivered as promised. | | | | God In My Corner - - George Forman Mar 2, 2009 |
This book is not only a wonderful account of Forman's spiritual journey; it is also a great study tool for Christians and God Seekers. It is simply and clearly stated but very powerful in its message.
The book product was in excellent condition. I have ordered this book four times (because I like to give good books away) and each one was true to description and well worth the price. | | | | George Foreman: God's In My Corner Oct 20, 2008 |

Book Review: God In My Corner: A Spiritual Memoir (Thomas Nelson Publishers, 2007) by George Foreman, written with Ken Abraham.
George Foreman, Olympic Gold Medalist, Entrepreneur, two-time Heavyweight Champion, Father, Benefactor, American, Rancher, Pastor, and Author, has published God In My Corner: A Spiritual Memoir.
Society, no matter what its generational age, will remember Mr. Foreman, also known as Big George, for his unique public life. Mr. Foreman is no closed book; his life - ups, downs, and accomplishments have been preserved for the benefit of future young people through television and the printed word. Born without a silver spoon, Mr. Foreman completed his financial, spiritual, and athletic journeys with all eyes on him. "I'm probably one of those few people in the world who has gone from rags to riches to rags and back to riches again. Having grown up in extreme poverty, I became a millionaire, and then went bankrupt. Now I'm better off than ever."--George Foreman
God In My Corner: A Spiritual Memoir is the revelation of the deepest part of George Foreman's inner spirit. It delves into the influence of his poverty-stricken childhood, the development of his boxing career, and the life he lived before accepting Jesus Christ as his Savior. Recounting his death experience and Christian conversion, Mr. Foreman continues his life's story about what he's chosen to achieve with the second chance at life. He attributes his success to his new found faith in God, and strives to live each day as a positive Christian role model for all to witness. Today, Mr. Foreman is an ordained minister and the pastor of The Church of Lord Jesus Christ in Houston where he preaches twice a week. As a benefactor, he founded and funds the George Foreman Youth Center, putting his money into a project that helps kids both physically and emotionally.
God In My Corner: A Spiritual Memoir opens the hearts and minds of readers through the honesty of George Foreman. Though he's stunned the world with his success in sports and business, he states, "Too many people are reaching for the stars and forgetting about the church. Don't let any opportunity lead you away from serving God. That's a price that's too high to pay." Spoken like a man who has been there and done that, Pastor Foreman offers positive lifestyle-reinforcing "Tips From George's Corner" at the end of each chapter. Unlike many in the spotlight, Pastor George has written openly about the mistakes he's made and how he's changed his life for the better. His goal is to not just have God in his corner, but to help others see that God can be the support system everyone needs.
Recently, my family endured several hits in life. They eventually happen to us all--illness, death, financial destruction, accidents. It was during this time that my husband and I read together God In My Corner. Laughing at Mr. Foreman's humor and thinking, `He's right about life,' it helped us persevere through some of the darkest days we've had. Refreshing, motivating, and positive--a second chance in life, like George Foreman, is what we all need.

God In My Corner: A Spiritual Memoir
I am so blessed by reading this book (I am not a reader). I find George Forman's experience so compelling that I cannot express how reading this book makes me feel. I would love to talk to him in person and hear his experience from his own lips. I would love to hear him preach in his Church, but that is not going to happen so I shall continue to cling to his words in this book. | | | | A Touching Spiritual Memoir Aug 20, 2008 |
Despite being a Christian myself, I am often a bit skeptical when athletes claim they have found the good Lord (as that claim is easy to say, not so easy to live). However, after reading this spiritual memoir by George Foreman, I am convinced that he truly has turned his life over to God, and that transformation is as fascinating as it gets.
Fans of classic boxing will remember Big George as one of the meanest, most ferocious heavyweight champions of all time. Yet, at nearly the height of his boxing fame, George (in the book) recounts a near-death experience sent to him by God that changed his life forever. Instead of letting his anger control him, George learned (though not without many trials) to trust in the Lord and serve the higher power. As a result, he believes, the Lord led him to make a comeback to boxing in his 40s and become the oldest heavyweight champion in the sport's long history.
Not only is Foreman's story interesting, but its principles can also be applied to the lives of every living human being. At the end of each chapter, George recaps the key points in easily-understood language, enough so that it can reach born-again Christians or those skeptical of religion altogether.
Overall, this book is very useful in serving two purposes: First, for more "advanced" Christians, it shows that, despite being difficult, the Christian battle can be won. Perhaps most importantly, though, it shows non-Christians how completely a life can be turned around for the better, as Foreman went from essentially a street thug to a servant of the Lord.
So, if you are waning in your faith and need a pick-me-up, or want to see the results of living a Godly life, George's cheerful attitude is just what you have been looking for! | | | Write your own review about God In My Corner: A Spiritual Memoir
