Baseball as a Road to God


Book Description

The president of New York University offers a love letter to America’s most beloved sport and a tribute to its underlying spirituality. For more than a decade, John Sexton has taught a wildly popular New York University course about two seemingly very different things: religion and baseball. Yet Sexton argues that one is actually a pathway to the other. Baseball as a Road to God is about touching that something that lies beyond logical understanding. Sexton illuminates the surprisingly large number of mutual concepts shared between baseball and religion: faith, doubt, conversion, miracles, and even sacredness among many others. Structured like a game and filled with riveting accounts of baseball’s most historic moments, Baseball as Road to God will enthrall baseball fans whatever their religious beliefs may be. In thought-provoking, beautifully rendered prose, Sexton elegantly demonstrates that baseball is more than a game, or even a national pastime: It can be a road to enlightenment.

It said You Can Survive! by Jere Franklin. They gave me the book. I have read this book over, and over, and over. It just speaks to me. There’s a lot of problems going on in my family … like … my Dad is gone … and other stuff [obvious emotional turmoil in Jacob’s unsteady voice ending in a heavy sigh].

Out of the Darkness


Book Description

In Out of the Darkness, A Journey into the Light, Mark Whittington writes about the freedom to choose your spiritual foundation. Our spiritual foundation can be of Lightor of Darkness. Many never find spiritual peace because it is won or lost in the mind. Our mind controls our destiny by allowing us to choose how we live. We begin at a young age searching for love, contentment and happiness in our lives. Our spirit can lead us into good or bad situations while we are searching for answers. Many times our choices lead us into mistakes that affect our lives forever. If you are fortunate to choose Spiritual Lightness for your life, this peace will lead you to the path of knowing you are loved, that you can be content in your daily life, and that you will know what happens at your death. In the end, death is inevitable; we will face judgment in the end no matter which spiritual path our minds allow us to choose. Experiences in life can strengthen your faith along with giving you guidance in making better choices. I will have been fortunate to have faced Jesus twice -once in life and once in death...
