Beyond Belief

The UPS truck just pulled away down our driveway, and sure enough, Josh Hamilton's book was there under the front door mat.  It only took a moment to peel open the top and remove the shipping document and the book.  I've been awaiting this event since Adam so graciously decided to share copies among his readers.

Could not resist opening it, reading the acknowledgements, and delving about twelve pages into the first chapter.  Oh, and I read and smiled at the Nolan Ryan quote on the back cover.  Now I've set it down, to start this fanpost, because when I pick it back up, there will be no stopping until the whole thing is read (with pauses for humanity breaks and food).  

I know already that this is something to be used, applied, learned from, and valued.  It isn't recreational or idle reading.  I haven't figured out yet how to present it to my granddaughter, and how to endorse it in a way that will hold her attention to the book and its' message.  But I trust that in a few days, we'll get both objectives handled. 

Great thanks, Adam.  This opportunity to both inform me, and hopefully enlighten the path of a young one, is wonderful.  And for the blog, I'll do as promised.  Post again with part 2 after Beyond Belief is read and digested.  I won't do a synopsis.  But I will post what I take away from the reading, and what I hope for from another who will read it.
