Intentional Walk is a book about the Christian testimonies of
different Cardinals baseball players and staff members. Each testimony reflects
how the Cardinal’s acceptance of Christ as their savior transformed their lived
both on and off the baseball field.
The concept of this book is highly intriguing. I loved
reading about Christian people who are not only successful but well known. I
love that this book is able to speak out to non-Christian baseball fans who may
be curious about the blessings that they see the players experiencing.
What a disliked about this book is the fact that it is
written from a third person point of view. The stories of the powerful transformation
that occurred in these Cardinals lives could better capture the wonderful power
of God if the stories had been told from the players’ perspective. I feel the
point of view greatly limits the inspiration that could be gained from the stories.
The book, as it stands now, reads almost like a collection of high school
papers about Christian ballplayers.
