Beyond Belief: Finding the Strength to Come Back by Tim Keown, Josh Hamilton
4.0
As a huge baseball fan, I'd obviously heard of Josh Hamilton's story. I remember the 2008 Home Run Derby and the feel good story of Josh's amazing comeback. However, I had no idea just how far he had really come.
This book is clearly written by Josh; the grammar and sentence structure aren't perfect, but I appreciated that. It made the story that much more authentic. You can feel all of his emotion in his words - joy, devastation, hopelessness, redemption. His is a truly unbelievable story that would have been a great plot for a movie, if only it weren't true.
Baseball fan or not, if you enjoy a heartwarming, back from the bottom, feel good story that reinforces your faith in the human spirit, you have to read this book.
