Our Review
This gripping memoir traces one man's extraordinary journey from professional baseball player to Christian missionary, chronicling his spiritual awakening and dramatic career shift with raw honesty. The narrative captures the tension between worldly success and spiritual calling as he transitions from Major League stadiums to Middle Eastern mission fields. Readers witness his internal struggle through vivid scenes of locker room conversations and Damascus street encounters that bring his transformation to life. This true story explores what happens when athletic ambition collides with divine purpose in unexpected ways.
What makes this account particularly compelling is its refusal to simplify complex faith questions while maintaining a propulsive narrative pace that will engage both sports enthusiasts and spiritual seekers. Teen readers navigating their own identity questions will find resonance in the author's honest portrayal of doubt and conviction, while parents will appreciate the thoughtful treatment of mature themes without graphic content. The book ultimately delivers a powerful meditation on finding one's true calling that transcends typical sports memoirs or conversion stories.
