Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
What gives a man identity and value? Does his worth hinge on his performance? His family? His career? For Dave Dravecky, finding the answers made the difference between bitterness and the satisfaction of a man whose greatest gain came from his time of greatest loss. The cancer that took his left arm in 1991 also stripped him of his baseball career and propelled him on a grueling quest for lasting identity and meaning. In The Worth of a Man, Dave uncovers foundations of manhood that can't be shaken. Examining the things that matter most to men--their occupations, friendships, families, successes and setbacks, the way they communicate, and the values they hold--he helps men discover the manhood God intended: free, open, honest, and strong. Now in softcover.

Dave Dravecky, former all-star pitcher for the San Francisco Giants, is the best-selling author of Comeback and When You Can’t Come Back. He is a speaker and the founder of Outreach of Hope Ministries. With his wife, Jan, he lives in Colorado Springs

The worth of this book,
By Terri Borgeson (Brighton, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Worth of a Man, The (Paperback)
This book is about a man who lost his arm due to cancer and could no longer play baseball. His whole identity was based on his ability to play ball. This book is about his battle to regain his identity. This is a great book with a lot of ideas about how to realize what is important in life and what is not. This is definitely a book about God and faith, but I think anyone would like it and can gain valuable knowledge from it. Also, this is not just for men. It really could be titled The Worth of a Person.
