Pujols: More than the game by Scott Lamb and Tim Ellsworth is such a great book to read, especaily those who are sports fans.  I know there are many athletes who say the believe in God or are Christians, but Albert Pujols is one of those who you don’t have to question his faith.  Lamb and Ellsworth did a great job in sharing about Albert’s life.  Memories from his childhood in Dominican Republic, highschool and college make you feel like have known Albert for a long time.  The book is covered with his sports achievements, what he has accomplish on the field.  He has set the standard high and continues to wow people with his game.  What I really enjoyed about this book, is about his personal faith in Jesus Christ.  Albert is not afraid to share about his faith and yet demonstrate his faith.  I have friends who know Albert and they speak volume of what he does in his church and ministry.  Alberts family has a foundation that helps those who have a child with Down Syndrome.  He is very generous with his money.  The book is a great read for men no matter if they are sports fans or not.  He will challenge all men to share their faith and be strong Husbands and Fathers in the home.  Lamb and Ellsworth did a great job in putting this book together.  I would encourage others to get this book and read about Alberts life and career.

This is my personal review of PUJOLS:More than the game

Serving God is the joy of my life.  Because of God’s grace and mercy, he is using me in the valley.  When we think of missions, we usually think of some place around the world, such as China, Africa, Thailand, India and tons of other cities and countries.  The Lord has challenged me to be a missionary here in the valley.  There is such a great need for the Gospel here in the Valley.  Many families are living in some of the worst conditions possible.  Children are looking for food just to live on.  God has challenge me to live a basic life to serve and help here in the Valley.  I am assisting a church here in Las Milpas working with the Youth and serving the community.  There are thousands of needs here in the Valley and through your help we can meet those needs.  Missions is just not for those over seas, but right here in our own country.  Would you pray on how you can help meet those needs.  Prayer is the most important, but helping financially will help the ministry in a mighty way.  Pray how God could use you to bless others.
