From the Publisher

Former NFL center Jason Brown shares his story of giving up his career for the sake of digging deep into family, faith, and the rich soil of following God’s call.

An inspiring riches-to-rags-to-true-riches story of one man willing to risk it all for the sake of saving his family and ending hunger.

Amidst the more than one million pounds of produce that is harvested and donated by First Fruits Farm, Jason and his wife Tay say the most important thing growing there is their family.

“A remarkable story in which family, deep self-reflection, and an unshakable belief in a path predestined by God triumph over fortune and comfort. There truly is no testimony without a test—a point Jason proves many times over in this wonderfully impactful read.”

—John Harbaugh, head coach of the Baltimore Ravens

“Centered is engaging, enlightening, and reflective. Jason tells a very personal story—from being bullied as a child in a racially segregated community to becoming the highest paid center in the NFL, then retiring at the height of his career to follow God’s calling for him. His joy and fulfillment from helping others, while overcoming his own despair when his farm was on the verge of bankruptcy, is motivating. This is an excellent read from an inspiring person.”

—Bubba Cunningham, director of athletics at the University of North Carolina

“Former NFL player Jason Brown walked away from comfort and familiarity in 2012 to accept a new calling that was out of his comfort zone. As owner of First Fruits Farm in North Carolina, Brown is known today as the Sweet Potato Whisperer. Farming has stretched him and his family yet brought them closer together and benefited countless families in need. The stories Jason shares point to a heavenly Father who loves to bless those who are obedient to His call.”

—James Robison, founder and president of LIFE Outreach International

“Jason Brown’s story is bathed in Scripture, and his journey through faith and obedience is cut straight from the Old Testament. Examples of Job, Joseph, and Daniel all come to mind as Jason rises above worldly success and acts obediently to share Christ with the hurting.”

—Edward Graham, Samaritan’s Purse
