Jackie Robinson believed in a God who sides with the oppressed and who calls us to see one another as sisters and brothers. This faith was a powerful but quiet engine that drove and sustained him as he shattered racial barriers on and beyond the baseball diamond. Jackie Robinson: A Spiritual Biography explores the faith that, Robinson said, carried him through the torment and abuse he suffered for integrating the major leagues and drove him to get involved in the civil rights movement. Marked by sacrifice and service, inclusiveness and hope, Robinson's faith shaped not only his character but also baseball and America itself.

Industry Reviews

"As much a look back at Robinson's skill on the field, this also focuses on his life off the field, long after his career in baseball was finished. Long and Lamb are well-qualified authors who have written before about Robinson, as well as civil rights and spirituality. This is a good pick for baseball fans; homeschooled students seeking well-researched, faith-based materials; and those interested in civil rights and the role of Christianity in sports."--Booklist
