Book Review: A SMALL glimpse into the soul of Deion Sanders (aka Prime Time)
Summary: 3 Stars
I've been meaning to read this book for a long time. I really wanted to hear the story of Deion's conversion from Prime Time, to being a Christian. I was particularly intrigued by his suicide attempt, wondering what drove him to that point, and how it impacted his life afterward.
I thought the book was decent, but was a bit disappointed. It left me wanting more. I found his writing style to be rambling, and repititious. While his focus was to tell the story of his conversion, which I appreciated, it wasn't as in depth as I would have liked. A little too "preachy" in many places. I still don't feel like I really know who Deion Sanders really is. Based on his own description, I didn't see a lot of difference between the new Deion and the Old Deion, although that is the power of his testimony. In both instances, he described himself as a supremely talented and confident talented individual who is essentially good at the core, but who is usually misunderstood.
In the book, Deion says that he created the "Prime Time" image while he was in college as a way of marketing himself, and that that isn't really who he is. The problem is that is exactly who we saw throughout the book. He still seems to be hiding behind that persona. I don't question the validity of his experience. I can only assume that Deion wrote this book as a baby Christian (1998). I'd be interested in hearing him tell his story now, with ten years of walking with Christ under his belt.
In summary, its a good book, but lacked in substance. His intentions were good, but he needed a little help on the delivery.
