- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great 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.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fans 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.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Even 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.
