Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Interesting, humorous and inspiring
My 13 year old son not only declares this as the best devotional book he's read, but he also claims it to be the best book of sports stories he's read.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Reading
If you are a christian and love baseball, I highly recommend this book. It's almost like sitting in your living room chatting with Dave Dravecky about baseball, life and christianity. Takes baseball players and issues past and present and puts a christian spin on it. I'm not a big reader, but I couldn't put this book down.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Entertaining
Well this really wasn't a "life-changin" kind of book but it was very entertaining. I am a big baseball fan and I absolutely loved Dave's baseball stories from a christian perspective. It's got some great stories about different players and a good perspective on being a christian in the major leagues. If you are a fan of sports then I definately recommend this one.
