Free Byrd


In this morning's Cleveland Plain Dealer, Terry Pluto reviews a book written by Cleveland Indians pitcher Paul Byrd, titled Free Byrd. The book tells about Byrd's struggle as a pro athlete and Christian.

Pluto wrote a real good review of the book, starting out discussing when Byrd would be spending long nights in a hotel room looking at his computer screen, wondering if he would give in to looking at porn, a problem Terry Pluto himself has confessed to having had.

Another part of the review I liked and one that I could identify with is Byrd being a young Christian and being too aggressive with evangelistic efforts and turning people off to the Lord.

It blesses my heart when a local sports figure professes his faith and writes a testimony about it. This is definitely a book I have got to check out.

I read that review.
Many timmes we try to give others an impression that we are perfect. It makes a difference when we accept that we are sinners who are saved and sanctified by grace. I have read the book The Heavenly Man by Brother Yun. He has given a true account of his disobedience to the voice of the Lord and the price he had to pay for it.

So many kids look up to sports figures, I think it is wonderful when the athletes are good role models for them with their faith. We all have sinned and have failed. Knowing it, admitting, and accepting we need Christ is something worthwhile for anyone to read about.
