Comeback

Rating:
Summary: FANTASTIC
Review: A 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.

Summary: Most inspirational
Review: A 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:
Summary: Both interesting and inspirational
Review: Dave 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.

Summary: A True Story of Hope.
Review: I remember I read this as a freshman in high school, and I was blown away. He talks about his struggles with cancer. What a witness when he told the doctors and nurses that God was in control of the operation on his shoulder! An awesome witness to anyone who may feel down on their luck. He talks about his relationship with his brothers in Christ, Atlee Hammaker and Scott Garrelts. What an awesome testimony!

Summary: An Inspiring Story of the Comeback and Never Giving Up
Review: I'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 and general public would adapt as their own.

This book follows a timeline from his childhood and minor league struggles (briefly) to his major league success and then his battle with cancer in his deltoid muscle, and finally, his return to baseball. It is a very quick read and one of the better athlete autobiographies I have read.
