Summary: baseball and the Bible
Review: If you are a baseball fan and a Christian, this book is a must read. Dave Dravecky has done a wonderful job of marrying baseball lore with biblical wisdom. He leads us through nine-plus innings of stories from the ballpark, expanding on each as an analogy for the Christian walk.

With quotes from the Bible and assorted baseball legends, bite-sized stories and lessons, colorful photos and the odd dash of humor, this book should be on the coffee table of every Christian baseball fan.

Summary: Give this book to anyone who likes baseball!
Review: Last night, I picked up this book to send to my son. He is a minor league player and recently had "Tommy John" surgery to his pitching elbow. I have read Dave Dravecky before but this time I was "hooked" on the first page! What a wonderful book for that baseball player in my life --- and me! Thank you, Dave, for sharing your love of the game but most importantly, your love for Jesus Christ. It was clear that when we are out there on the mound, all the pressure is on --- Jesus is with us in each inning! Even into "extra innings"! Absolutely buy this for that baseball player or baseball lover in your life!

Review: My 7 year old son spotted this book in the Christian book store two weeks ago and we bought it. He played Pee Wee baseball last spring and loves the sport. My wife and I have read a chapter with him at bedtime each night and I finished the book Saturday morning on my own.

The anecdotes are funny; the insights are touching and deeply meaningful, and we all have enjoyed this book.

I plan to buy several copies and give them to neighborhood parents of children who play baseball.
