Carol Stream, ILTyndale House Publishers today announced the book-signing schedule that will coincide with the release of Coming Back Stronger: Unleashing the Hidden Power of Adversity, the memoir by New Orleans Saints quarterback and Super Bowl XLIV MVP Drew Brees. The autobiography, which is scheduled to release Tuesday, July 6, 2010, chronicles the incredible comeback story not only of one of the NFL’s greatest quarterbacks but also of the rebirth of a city and a team that many had all but written off. Chris Fabry (who also penned Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel’s NYT bestselling The Winners Manual) collaborated with Brees in writing the book.

Brees’s book tour includes stops in seven states, including New Jersey, Indiana, Louisiana, California, Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi. The book-signing schedule is as follows:
