Product Description
Brett Butler, the Los Angeles Dodger who defied all odds to become a big leaguer, has had his share of battles. All his life he's battled the "bigger guys" to play. He battled the "big guys" during the baseball strike and the "other guys" for his outspoken faith. He's also battled a serious eye injury, life-threatening throat cancer, and more recently a broken hand. Yet Butler has a lot going for him, too. In this straightforward and candid autobiography, he credits his wife, family, friends, and more importantly, God, with the success he has experienced and the amazing comebacks he has enjoyed.

 A good story from a great guy January 29, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Brett Butler has led a life of overcoming the odds. In his youth Brett was told he was too small to make it in pro baseball. Brett kept fighting and he finally made it. Once in the majors, Brett was told he would never be a star. Again he kept fighting and he made the All-Star team. When Brett found out he had cancer, he decided to fight once again. Once again he won.
Butler reveals his thoughts throughout all of his triumphs and disappointments. He discusses his Christianity without coming across as preachy. He is a man of faith and love and he proudly expresses this.
The book is very uplifting. It is a real inspirational story from truly one of the good guys!
 Excellent book August 6, 1999
I enjoyed reading Brett Butler's autobiography and have read it quite a few times. It's a wonderful read about love for God and overcoming odds and tragedies. (I love the chapter of his first encounters with his future wife Eveline. It made me laugh out loud.)
proves with God, anything is possible April 23, 1999
An inspiring, touching story. I followed Brett's career ever since I first saw him play in Atlanta in 1982. His story is a glowing example of the power of our living God. Hopefully this book will bless you the way it has blessed me. I've read it four times now, and still enjoy it every time. Oh, I have the honor of saying a letter I wrote the day he was diagnosed is on page 218 of this book. God bless you, Brett.
A great inspiration March 4, 1999

"Hope" is an inspiring story of a man who was told in his early life he wouldn't make it in baseball. Mr. Butler proved that hard work and determination does indeed payoff. He is refreshingly honest about his shortcomings and his belief in Jesus Christ. His wife, Eveline, narrates a good portion of the book giving her views on their life together, with the trials and tribulations that goes with any marriage. Another title for this book could have been, "Winners never Quit". They are both just that, winners, only they're winning in the game of life.

If you're looking for an inspiring story, this is a great one. It shows what grit and determination can do in a life. It is also a wonderful book for the Christian, thought-provoking and a fine example of the way Christ can guide you through even the most terrible of situations.
