containing submissions by athletes of faith. Each of them was asked
one question: Tell us a story about a time when your faith was most
present in your life. Rather than tell us about their faith, we asked
them to show us. These stories are oftentimes uplifting, and at all
times profound, raw, honest, introspective and heartfelt. These are
not the sort of stories you hear in a press conference. Some of them
take place on the field; others, off it. They are presented without
agenda or judgment. On many levels, we think you’ll find them
fascinating, as they pull up the veil on a side of sports that is
rarely revealed but very often present. This blog is moderated by
author and father Ben Petrick, a former Colorado Rockies catcher
thought to be the only professional athlete to have his career
shortened by Parkinson’s Disease, along with writer and father Scott
Brown. In addition to their professional and family lives, both men
are also coaches of youth sports. A selection of the stories they’ve
collected will soon appear in a book, and together they’re also
working on Ben’s autobiography. If you’d like us to email you when
new stories appear on the blog, please send us a note at
info@imagine-books.net.
