Pujols: More Than the Game by Scott Lamb & Tim Ellsworth

Scott Lamb and Tim Ellsworth allows baseball fans to get a deeper look and insight on what matter's most to Pujols, his relationship and faith in Jesus Christ. It's not all about baseball here, Pujols lives everyday knowing that there is a higher power behind it all, God and his Son Jesus! Even though Pujols has a chance at being known has the greatest player of baseball of all time, God is ultimately first in his life.

I'm not a huge sport buff, but reading this book has given me a better understanding that a baseball player, such as Pujols, doesn't just live life by the throw of a ball and the swing of a baseball bat, but that Pujols is more focused on Jesus. I have a greater respect for Pujols and his efforts to make the best of his life on and off the field. Many times an athlete can get caught up in themselves when they become a great athlete and lose the sense and purpose of what really matters most. I recommend this book mostly to baseball fans or sports fans in general. This book highlights Pujols stats and why he has a chance to be known as the greatest baseball player of all time!

The Principle of the Path by Andy Stanley

Andy Stanley’s book Principle of the Path is geared toward those who want to find the path to get them where they want to be. Andy engages great illustrations along with his own personal experience to help the reader understand there are choices we will have to make that will determine our path and destination. From relationships to moral issues Andy explains how our influences, reactions and our relationship with God are extreme roles that will either help us get where we want to be, lead us far away from it.

I recently received this book and I could not put it down once I started reading. Andy does a great job at talking directly to the reader and connecting his points to the principle of the path. The book also includes a study guide for each chapter in the back of the book which allows one to evaluate their own personal lives. Andy offers great guidance. This book has potential in changing the lives of those who looking to find that path to take them where they want to be. I recommend this to high school students, college students, those looking for their dream job or a fresh start in life. It’s only been five days since I received this book and it has had a huge impact on my life. Thanks Andy.
