Sting: The Moment of Truth

By Steve Borden

Book Overview

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.

really a moment of truth

STING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY FAVORITE OF ALL TIME FINALLY WRITES ONE OF THE GREATEST WRESTLING BOOKS EVER. IF YOU LIKE STING BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sting

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!

Great Book!

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.

A Great Book by a Great Man

This book is a must-read for anyone who wishes to be inspired. Steve Borden does an outstanding job of keeping his writing very interesting, insightful, easy-to-understand, and above all, motivating. Many wonderful, full color photos are also included, which allow Mr. Borden's words to flow all the more. Once you start reading it, you won't be able to put it down! And when you're finished reading it, not only will your soul be given a jump-start, but you'll also feel elated in knowing that, though many of this world's celebrities are driven by greed and other evils, there are still true heroes like Steve Borden who leave us with no choice but to stand up and cheer.
