A Grand Slam for God
Burke Masters was chasing his dream of playing Major League Baseball, and it seemed within reach after a grand slam sent his team to the College World Series. But the call that changed his life came not from a recruiter, but from God. In this compelling memoir, Fr. Burke - now the chaplain for the Chicago Cubs - shares his journey from athlete to priest, through seasons of doubt, loss, and unexpected grace. His story shows how God’s plan can transform our lives in ways we never imagined. This audiobook is narrated by the author.
