Book Review: A good story from a great guy
Summary: 4 Stars
Brett Butler has led a life of overcoming the odds. In his youth Brett was told he was too small to make it in pro baseball. Brett kept fighting and he finally made it. Once in the majors, Brett was told he would never be a star. Again he kept fighting and he made the All-Star team. When Brett found out he had cancer, he decided to fight once again. Once again he won.
Butler reveals his thoughts throughout all of his triumphs and disappointments. He discusses his Christianity without coming across as preachy. He is a man of faith and love and he proudly expresses this.
The book is very uplifting. It is a real inspirational story from truly one of the good guys!
Summary of Field of Hope: An Inspiring Autobiography of a Lifetime of Overcoming Odds
Brett Butler, the Los Angeles Dodger who defied all odds to become a big leaguer, has had his share of battles. All his life he's battled the "bigger guys" to play. He battled the "big guys" during the baseball strike and the "other guys" for his outspoken faith. He's also battled a serious eye injury, life-threatening throat cancer, and more recently a broken hand.Yet Butler has a lot going for him, too. In this straightforward and candid autobiography, he credits his wife, family, friends, and more importantly, God, with the success he has experienced and the amazing comebacks he has enjoyed.
