He has courageously overcome repeated tragedies caused by cancer surgery, and many have already embraced his monumental story. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The Comeback KidIn the face of adversity, faith in God will see you through. That's the moral of the story. Dave Dravecky was a baseball player. A pitcher. That was all he ever wanted to be. And he was good at it. Good enough to pitch in the major leagues. But when a cancerous tumor was found in his pitching arm it looked like his career was over. Or was it? The Dravecky family had faith in God. They placed their future and Dave's career in His hands. Placing faith in God is always the ... Read More Rating:  - An Inspiring Story of the Comeback and Never Giving UpI've always been a big Dave Dravecky Fan, and I knew his story from what I read in the news and saw during the events of this time period. Reading about his life, his thoughts and insights on the world around him was inspirational. He loved baseball so much, that he did whatever it took to be the best. Dravecky was a man of great faith-he makes many references to thanking Jesus Christ for the opportunities and never blamed Him for the obstacles. His never say die attitude is one I wish more athletes ... Read More Rating: - FANTASTICA must read for every athlete - both Christian and non-Christian. Dave is an inspriation. I have read the book six times over the years and have never found a book by an athlete better. To top it off, Dave is as nice of a guy in person as he is in his book. Rating: - Most inspirationalA very uplifting book about Mr Dravecky's battle with cancer. More than just an athlete centered book, this details his struggles and triumphs with this very debilitating disease. Rating: - Both interesting and inspirationalDave Dravecky wrote an inspiring book after his first bout with cancer and amazing comeback to professional baseball. The writing is better than in most athlete-authored books. Most sports fans know that the cancer returned, and Dave lost an arm to it. The follow-up story is revealed in subsequent books authored by Dave Dravecky and his wife Jan Dravecky. I think readers will be uplifted by any of these books.
