“One of the best baseball books I’ve ever read. This is a winner!”~ 1984 World Series Champion Johnny Grubb
Tired of leading a losing team, Cubs Manager Skip Anderson is ready to retire. In rural Iowa, Skip finds a homer-hitting, strike-throwing baseball phenomenon. But there’s a hitch: He’s Amish!
Jason Yoder’s Amish life is in turmoil. His girlfriend Faith is ready for them to join the church, marry, and begin their life together. At home, the 17-year-old looks on helplessly as his widowed mother struggles to pay bills.
An offer from the Chicago Cubs promises the money he needs to save the farm. But the temptations of the outside world could be too great, pulling him away from the only life he’s ever known.

“It was absolutely amazing. I resonated with the accuracy, the correctness of the Amish faith and the story connections. It was perfect!I am a teacher, who grew up in Kalona and moved to Pennsylvania. I could picture the Amish store, the Amish dilemmas, the family and faith structures, and also the minute details, such as the buggy accident on route 22, which I remember. I love the faith strand that you weave. It is only possible by truly understanding the Amish theology.Keep it up!! I wish you the very best!!”
