altLooking to duplicate the success of its football-themed titles, Tyndale House Publishers will release a book next month by Kurt Warner-winner of two NFL MVP awards and a Super Bowl MVP award.

In First Things First: The Rules of Being a Warner--releasing June 30--Warner and his wife, Brenda, talk candidly about their marriage, the values they are working to instill in their seven children, things they've done right, mistakes they've made along the way, the importance of giving back and the lasting legacy they hope to leave behind.

"It's so hard for people to grasp and understand that it's not about going to the Pro Bowl or winning an MVP," Warner, who led the Arizona Cardinals against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLIII in February, recently told ESPN. "It's about trying to do something that impacts the people around you. And that's what I try to do every single day is have an impact on everyone around me."

HarperCollins published All Things Possible: My Story of Faith, Football, and the Miracle Season by Warner along with Michael Silver in 2000, which chronicled the quarterback's Super Bowl victory with the St. Louis Rams during the 1999 season.

Tyndale has released several football-related books that have made the New York Times best-sellers lists, including Uncommon and Quiet Strength by recently retired NFL coach Tony Dungy, The Winners Manual: For the Game of Life by Ohio State University football coach Jim Tressel, Don't Bet Against Me! by Deanna Favre, wife of former NFL star quarterback Brett Favre.

Additionally, Tyndale will release July 7 LT & Me: What Raising a Champion Taught Me About Life, Faith, and Listening to Your Dreams by Loreane Tomlinson--mother of NFL star and San Diego Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson, also known as "LT." Tyndale will also release July 21 Game Plan for Life by NFL Hall of Fame member Joe Gibbs, who will speak during the International Christian Retail Show in Denver, set for July 12-15.
