Winning the World Series may be the ultimate prize for most MLB players,
but a relationship with Jesus Christ is No. 1 for many diamond stars, including:
- Hall of Famer John Smoltz
- Three-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw
- MVP Albert Pujols
- All-Star Mariano Rivera
- And dozens more.
Baseball Faith will inspire you in your faith journey as 52 MLB players--past and present--share their stories and how they are chasing the success that only comes from being God's man and following His plan. These men are committed to living their lives with eternity in mind. Empowered by God, they are looking beyond the competition to a larger goal: following God's game plan for their lives as team players, as husbands, fathers, sons, and then using their influence to point other

Here is what I thought.......
I really enjoyed this book. It was actually different then I thought it was going to be. It actually reads a little more like a magazine. Each player has a couple of pages that tell about their faith story and then a few pages telling their stats and where they played and things like that. I liked how it was put together. I enjoyed reading about the different players and their faith stories. I received this book from Barbour Publishing for free. A positive review was not required. All opinions are my own.
