Baseball As A Road To God

Tonight, our beloved Tigers, play the first game in the 2013 ALDS. What is it about baseball that inspires such devotion from fans? In an engaging and often inspiring book, John Sexton, President of New York University, analyzes the game as a metaphor for our religious quest. "Baseball As A Road To God: Seeing Beyond The Game" leads us into an understanding of baseball's dimensions as a reflection of our engagement with The Holy. From the "loving intimacy of a game of catch between father and son" to a a comprehension of the rituals, complex strategies for success, possibilities of failure, saints and sinners (name your own), this is an ever fascinating book about our national past time and and the search for the sacred. Highly Recommended.
