    About this audiobook

    After a decade starring for the St. Louis Cardinals, Albert Pujols is already compared with names in the highest reaches of baseball's pantheon: Ruth, Gehrig, Aaron, Mays. Slugging his way toward the Hall of Fame, Pujols has raised the game's standard for greatness almost beyond any statistical measure. But the standard by which Pujols measures himself has less to do with baseball performance than with honoring God and exemplifying his faith for the millions who follow him. From his birthplace in the Dominican Republic to his high-school days in Kansas City, from a single season in the minor leagues to the World Series and nine All-Star Games, Pujols has developed his immense talents on the baseball diamond, all the while focusing his direction-and the direction of his family-with the belief that a greater purpose is behind every achievement. Authors Scott Lamb and Tim Ellsworth spare no tale of this growing baseball legend, all the while accentuating "the unseen hand of divine providence" that has shaped the man Albert Pujols has become. It's a story that will inspire, and a reminder of the human quality behind superhuman achievement. A story-still in the making-of allowing God's strength to guide one man's path to be the best his game has ever seen.

      Fan: Mike, even though you’re one of the Top 10 players in baseball history, I think you were underappreciated in Philadelphia, probably because you made it look so easy. I know it wasn’t easy and that you worked hard. Is that how you see it? Schmidt

      Great biography about a great player. Albert Pujols not only shines on the field- he also is a great person with genuine character. Lamb gives a honest appraisal of this future HOFer. The affect of Jesus Christ on Pujols life is inspiring and a positive change from so many negative role models in sports. Highly recommended for baseball fans and Christians.
    • 5/5
      Fans of Pujols and/or baseball, as well as anyone looking for an inspirational story, will enjoy this book. Not only does this book provide historic and current baseball facts and trivia, but it also explains and illustrates how religion and baseball are important to Pujols and how he uses his faith to help and encourage others. The simple base truth of this story is that everything is guided by God's hands and those who follow in his footsteps and give back to their faith can achieve great things. This book starts out with a charming story about Pujols' giving nature and loving heart and then delves into explaining how God has worked to change Pujols' life since his childhood. However, the book doesn't only focus on Pujols, it also provides stories of others in his life, such as his wife. One story in the book about his wife visiting a friend in the hospital, in particular, caught my attention. Not only does it illustrate how God has influenced every aspect of Pujols' life and the lives of those around him, but it also made me wish that a sequel would be written about his wife and how God has influenced her life as well.
    • 3/5
      Even though this is pretty dated now, it was still fun to read about Pujols “back in the day.” It is a little bit fawning, at times; no one is perfect, but this one makes Albert out ti be pretty close.

      The version on Scribd cuts off in 21st chapter-just be aware.

      Overall, it’s a good story about the best baseball player of my lifetime.
