The president of New York University offers a love letter to America’s most beloved sport and a tribute to its underlying spirituality. For more than a decade, John Sexton has taught a wildly popular New York University course about two seemingly very different things: religion and baseball. Yet Sexton argues that one is actually a pathway to the other. Baseball as a Road to God is about touching that something that lies beyond logical understanding. Sexton illuminates the surprisingly large number of mutual concepts shared between baseball and religion: faith, doubt, conversion, miracles, and even sacredness among many others. Structured like a game and filled with riveting accounts of baseball’s most historic moments, Baseball as Road to God will enthrall baseball fans whatever their religious beliefs may be. In thought-provoking, beautifully rendered prose, Sexton elegantly demonstrates that baseball is more than a game, or even a national pastime: It can be a road to enlightenment.

Offers advice on the mechanics of pitching, and recommends a program of weight training, aerobic exercise, and sound nutrition.

Faith and Baseball have long been important factors in the life of author Gary Graf, each one inspiring valuable lessons on living. "I keep returning to them both," he says. "Each has taught me lessons about love, loss, and life. Each has its own rewards and its version of universal truth. I'm no theologian by any standard, and I never could throw a curve ball with any precision. But I do think there's a symbiotic relationship between that which was heaven sent and the game which is heaven on earth."
