Fade In:
There I am, engulfed in 'The Night Before Christmas' our dad always read to us every Christmas Eve before bedtime. It was my favorite part of the day, to be honest. As you can tell by the look on my face I took that shit seriously. For real. I loved stories as much as I loved playing sports. I got lost in them. Still do, in fact. In this picture I wouldn't be surprised if I'm thinking of my own ta

| What a harrowing account, but yet, full of hope and inspiration from the unassuming Juliane Koepcke. I keep wondering why she was the one to live? Was it luck or something more? | |

| For once, a great book about evidence for Jesus Christ. If you want a detail by detail breakdown of Him, this is it. While I would’ve liked Strobel to take us into his own background of atheism or agnosticism more thoroughly before becoming a believe ...more | |

| A great memoir about one man’s fight to stay alive. His inner strength and love for his family saved him and changed him after the accident— a must read for those who want to be inspired. Renner repeats himself a lot in the book but I only assume tha ...more | |

| One of the finest books about the strength of an American family in a declining industry— clinging unabashedly to their roots. It’s timeless and also gives one of the best looks into the rodeo life that no other book has. | |

| The book was a very well-written piece. I never knew Bo Jackson was a grade A asshole but he found his humility a little after his natural gifts were taken away from him. I always find it interesting when athletes who were at the top of their games s ...more | |

“Played catcher, just like you. We had these dreams that took us far beyond Minor League ball. Reality set in when we faced actual Major League talent. That's when we realized what our hopes actually were—dreams. The Marine Corps became a life we knew we could succeed in. I missed playing ball, sure, but when I think back on it, you kids gave me a life far more satisfying than any dream. That's what I was always meant to be—a father and a coach. That's what made sense.”

“Jack, when I began teaching you this game I put a lot of pressure on you," James says, gripping his son's shoulder. "Sure enough, you always gave me everything I've asked of you and more. You're it, boy. You're far better than I was. But make no mistake, there's more to you than baseball. My sons have so much potential and so many more options than your mother and I ever had. I pushed and pushed and pointed you in just one direction . . . Maybe now I'm thinking I shouldn't have. I should've told you all that I'll be proud of you, regardless. Your mother and I raised fine young men . . . I'm sorry, Jack .”
