Former NFL quarterback-turned-baseball player Tim Tebow appeared at the Marietta Sam's Club for a signing of his "Shaken" on Thursday afternoon.

The new book details some of the Heisman trophy winner's personal highs and lows: “Readers will be riveted as Tebow recalls being called into a head coach’s office knowing the news will be bad," the book's publicists note. "They’ll feel Tebow’s sorrow when the reality sets in that he has no job, no car, no home and likely no future in the NFL. They will fight back tears as he shares the stories of critically ill children who have inspired him along the way and given him a new understanding of what it means to be strong and courageous.”

Thursday's appearance was one of pure joy for Tebow's fans. Here are some great photos folks posted from the event:
