Jeremy Lin: From the End of the Bench to Stardom

 

The world is exposed to an individual like Jeremy Lin only once in a generation. His journey has taken him from practicing lay-ups on the court at the local YMCA to hitting last minute game-winners on the grand stage at Madison Square Garden. This book charts Jeremy's life story, from the streets of Palo Alto to the dormitories of Harvard to the major arenas throughout the country. Through exclusive interviews, play-by-plays, and colorful recollections, we get an intimate look at Jeremy's story. It is one of unyielding determination, true faith, and unimaginable success. This true story is truly "Lin_Sane!"

 

Here is an excerpt from the book:
Perhaps Jeremy's most important affiliation was as a member of the Paly Christian Club. The student-run organization served as a perfect blend of community and religion. Here, Jeremy could participate in community service, organize faith-based outreach events, and socialize with friends, all in the name of God. For Jeremy, this proved a true love. He even became co-president of the organization his senior year.

Jeremy's faith played a vital role in his life -  its tenets served as guideposts for him along his incredible journey. A devout Evangelical Christian, Jeremy grew up attending church regularly with his family. He was ever present in the Sunday morning pews. But his relationship with the Church didn't end there. On Friday nights, Jeremy and his brothers would attend youth gatherings at the Chinese Church in Christ where they would study with the pastor Stephen Chen. Afterwards, the three Lin boys and Chen would head to play basketball, sometimes into the wee hours of the night, before finishing the night off with a trip to Denny's or In-N-Out Burger.
