"A Ballplayer" is a story about Joshua Green, a Major League Baseball player who bursts onto the scene out of nowhere. A juggernaut on the field, Josh is a salve to hurting people all around him. The early-season superstar beloved by fans, Josh's record-breaking play makes him the most famous athlete in the world. Yet soon, Josh's beliefs polarize the public. Many ask, who is this man, and why is he here? This story reflects our society and the true moral questions of our time. These questions are age-old for man, wrapped in our unique cultural context, but unchanged since Genesis. The reader sees a mirror reflecting our world, its problems, and themselves. During a fantastic season of Major League Baseball, the reader views society's problems at a personal level, one on one with many characters of varied backgrounds. The reader journeys with the book's characters plucked from biblical and historical figures. The reader sees the main character, Joshua Green, the way we see Jesus in the bible, through the many disparate eyes of the witnesses to his life. They see many characters' history and thoughts reflecting their own past choices and motivations. Josh offers a true Christ-like worldview, holding individual relationships dearly while speaking to the multitudes. The reader observes each character, so they might find pieces of themselves to examine in their perceptions and motivations. The reader watches as each character sees Josh Green differently-yet he is unchanged. Instead, the observer's views, dreams, and concerns alter their perception of the man. The book gently asks, "If Christ walked amongst us, what would he say to us about our world, and how would I, react to him? What motivates my actions, and what are the eternal ramifications?" The answer Josh gives each character he meets, friend or foe, paints a compelling picture of who we are in God's eyes. Josh shows us nothing we do can separate us from the love of Christ and his offer of a new life when we turn to him.
