One Call Away by Brenda Warner

A compelling read from beginning to end, One Call Away by Brenda Warner, wife of Kurt Warner, is one of the most encouraging and insightful biographies I have read in several years. Brenda shares her inspiring story about how as a young single mother she struggled to raise her two children, one of whom was a special needs child.  From her humble beginnings as a child growing up on her parent’s farm, to serving as a Marine, a difficult marriage, tragedy, life on food stamps and finally to her marriage to famous football player Kurt Warner; Brenda is proof of what a person can do when they have faith in God.

Not long after meeting Kurt, tragedy struck yet again when Brenda’s parents were killed when a tornado struck their home. Kurt helped her through the tragedy and  and they were married in her parent’s church.  Brenda shares the ups and downs of being a the wife of a football players as well as what it is like being in the in the spotlight of the media and the country.

The accounts of the trying times in Brenda’s life where her faith in God brought her through her darkest moments will move the reader to tears.  The uplifting moments and times of great joy are stirring and encouraging.  Her journey through life is one that so many can relate to on many different levels.  Today, Kurt, Brenda and the seven children are doing well. Kurt has retired from football, but they stay active with the organization they founded to help those less fortunate.

One Call Away is a book you can’t put down.  From beginning to end, the events are riveting and compelling.  I highly recommend this book to everyone.
