This book was of special interest to me for three reasons. First, I am a longtime baseball fan and Albert Pujols has been one of the most outstanding players of the past decade. Secondly, I have heard rumors that Pujols was of the Christian faith, as am I, and wanted to know for sure. Lastly, I was curious, supposing he was a Christian, what his view of sports was. It could be that he simply loved the game or that he looked at it as a means by which to share Christ.
The book did far more than answered my questions and satisfied the curiosities that I had. Scott Lamb and Tim Ellsworth are great writers and I have long respected Lamb for his stand of biblical doctrine and philosophy.
What impressed me most about Pujols is that he is a solid Christian and that he is not afraid to use his “platform” of baseball to find opportunities to share the gospel with others. Pujols also has a passion for down syndrome children that stems from his love for God and family.
I would definitely recommend this book especially to those who have a love for sports and sports ministry. You will be challenged, inspired, and rebuked by the life of Albert Pujols.
