Acerca de esta escucha
The audiobook 1842 is a fictional story about love, baseball, and God. It is set in Oklahoma, which is in a region known as the "Bible Belt" of the United States of America. The two main characters of the story, Bobby and Shawn, are among the very best baseball players in the country. Even so, each of them has personal traumas and troubling experiences that make life very complicated.
Being a great athlete does not always mean having it all together. For Shawn, he has to gather up all of his strength to power through loss and unmet natural needs. Bobby, on the other hand, must navigate through the struggles of being extremely passionate and unaware of how to appropriately apply boundaries. On top of these things, both young men must battle against the negative and toxic values that are promoted in world culture. Also intertwined are other characters who have their own personal struggles, making them affect the story in their own distinct ways. Together, though, all characters represent the human experience.
This urban work is filled with interesting moments and subtle creativity, culminating into a piece that is both nostalgic and current. Certain points of the book will undoubtedly make you laugh. And at other times, they will pull on your heartstrings, and maybe even make you shed a couple tears. Without question, though, 1842 is worth the listen, and maybe even multiple playthroughs.
Koby L. Bowie pours his heart out into his debut novel. His goal in creating it is to help people know that life is worth living, assist people in addressing their traumas and past failures, as well as to inspire young people to make healthy choices. Baseball is the muse and spark for the story, but Koby's personal life experiences are the actual substance, as he drew from his past circumstances and put a brilliant creative twist on them.

When Ball Four was published in 1970, it created a firestorm. Bouton was called a Judas, a Benedict Arnold and a “social leper” for having violated the “sanctity of the clubhouse.” Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn tried to force Bouton to sign a statement saying the book wasn’t true. Ballplayers, most of whom hadn’t read it, denounced the book. It was even banned by a few libraries. Almost everyone else, however, loved Ball Four.

In 2007, pitcher Barry Zito signed a seven-year, $126 million contract with the San Francisco Giants. At that time, it was the largest contract ever given to a pitcher. He was at the top of his game, in peak physical condition, and had the kind of financial security most people can only dream of. He was also miserable. And it began to show. Zito's career declined over the next few years until he hit rock bottom - watching from the bench as his team won the World Series in 2010. In Curveball, Zito shares his story with honesty and transparency.

Twin brothers David and Jason Benham grew up with big dreams of baseball and an even bigger trust in God. Though they attended a small high school with no baseball field, turned down a professional offer so they could attend college together, and faced more than one missed pitch and injuries, they kept dreaming, praying together on the field, and believing in God. David and Jason’s journey, from Little League to college to professional baseball and beyond, reminds us that even when we don’t know what God is up to, He’s putting together the pieces of our life’s puzzle.

Shattered is part sports audio book, because you’ll go on road trips, enter clubhouses, and walk on the fields of professional baseball. It’s part romantic novel, because you’ll journey with two young kids who fall in love and eventually elope, evading not only her family, but the law as well - for she was only 16. It’s also a story of brokenness, betrayal, and burn-out. If you were raised in a dysfunctional family, if you’ve ever had your dreams fall apart, been betrayed by close friends, or hit the psychological “wall” in your professional career, this is your audio book too.

Until his players made a proposition: if they won the league championship, he'd try out for the majors. You must hear this story to believe what happened when they actually won.

You may know him as an NFL All-Pro or as an elite magician who made the finals of America’s Got Talent. But Jon Dorenbos says that what he does is not who he is. Who he is is someone forced, at the most tender of ages, to coach himself into turning tragedy to triumph. One morning in August 1992, when Jon was 12 years old and living a seemingly idyllic childhood in suburban Seattle, he woke up for baseball camp. His dad waved good-bye. Later that day, Jon heard the news: His father had murdered his mother in the family’s three-car garage.

He is perhaps most well-known for being exiled from the league for praying—instead of standing and saluting the flag–during the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” before games throughout the 1995-96 season. Abdul-Rauf’s protest sent shockwaves through the NBA that can still be felt today. With wit and candor, Abdul-Rauf tells the story of how he rose to the top of his game—only to have his career taken away in the blink of an eye when he stood up for his principles.

Olympic medalist Adam Rippon has been making it pretty for the judges even when, just below the surface, everything was an absolute mess.

Beautiful on the Outside looks at his journey.

After 12 years of playing basketball at the highest professional level, Brian Grant could have been forgiven for thinking that the hardest part of his life was behind him, that he'd be able to kick back and enjoy the fruits of his considerable labors. But soon after his retirement from the NBA, Grant was diagnosed with Young-Onset Parkinson's Disease, ushering in a challenge greater than any he'd faced before. In Rebound, Grant shares his remarkable life before, during, and after those NBA years with no shortage of compassion and wit.
