PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
People of faith believe that God can make His presence known through seemingly serendipitous situations that bring two individuals together. Tampa Bay Rays baseball player Ben Zobrist and singer/songwriter Julianna Zobrist, with the help of bestselling author Yorkey (Every Man's Battle), relate the stories of their childhood hopes and dreams, the aspirations of their adolescence, and the circumstances that brought them together as husband and wife. The Zobrists recall their meeting, courtship, and marriage in a touching and entertaining "he said, she said" format. Ben's faith and determination to please God in all he does melds well with Julianna's joy for life and devotion to family. Life, love, faith, and values are constant themes throughout the book; concentrating on values kept the couple strong first as young single Christians, and later as a young married couple. This memoir offers today's high school and college-age youth inspiration for maintaining their values and Christian faith as they work their way through life.

Amazing read!
I usually don't like reading about people's lives, but this has been an eye opener for me. What an amazing story of God's sovereignty on the lives of those who's hearts are fixed on Him. Oh that we would seek to please God in all that we do.
