Major League baseball player Cory Brand excels at hitting home runs—but he’s striking out in his personal life. After years of hard partying and reckless living, a DUI and team suspension land him back in the Oklahoma town where he started.
Forced to coach the local Little
League team and spend eight weeks in Celebrate Recovery©, the only twelve-step
program in town, Cory must face the memories of an abusive father—and the love
Cory left behind. What he doesn't realize is that the road to recovery will
take him through the childhood pain he longs to forget and into a freedom he’s
never known before.
Based on the major motion picture
starring Vivica A. Fox and Scott Elrod, Home Run: The Novel reminds us that no
one is beyond the healing power of God.
About the Author
My Thoughts
This book is incredible. The road taken by the main charactor, Cory Brand, is one that starts out totally focused on himself and his career then takes him on a path of self discovery. He has once incident that changes his life and forces him to go back home and face the demons he has been running from his entire life.
After an incident on the field, Cory is suspended and ordered to coach a little league team and to attend 8 weeks of a recovery program. He figures he can breeze through the 8 weeks, do his time and move on. But, as time passes, he comes to grips with his addiction and mends fences with his family. After hearing other members testimonies during his Celebrate Recovery meetings, he learns that he is not alone in his struggles, God is there with him and through His strengh, Cory can be reborn.
I love this book and can't wait to see the movie coming out on April 19th. I'm excited to see the charactors come to life on the big screen. This was a "can't put it down" type book for me and I finished it in a couple of days.
