    Wow! Travis Thrasher has always been one of my favorite authors and he definitely didn't disappoint this time. This book caught my attention from the very first page. I read this book in 2 days...couldn't put it down!

    This book centers around a pro baseball player named Cory Brand. It shows what can happen when someone succeeds in life (by the world's standards) and what happens when previous demons/addictions are not dealt with. I love the way Travis Thrasher goes back and forth...between present day and earlier day for Cory Brand. It had me cheering for Cory in his present day life.

    I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that enjoys fiction. It was very easy to read and to follow.

    I received this book from bookfun.org to read for my honest opinion.

    Travis Thrasher has always been my favorite author. When I found out that he was attached to writing the novelization of this upcoming movie, I was thrilled. This book, as the other novels by Travis, will not disappoint.

    Cory Brand is "The Brand" when it comes to Major League Baseball. He has been there, done that and made a lot of money because of it. Unfortunately, there's a downside to all of his fame. After a Father's Day promotion goes wrong, Cory is sent on a paid vacation to rehab to get his life back in order. The only issue with the rehab, in Cory's mind, is that it's back in the hometown he swore never to go back to. As part of his rehab, he is tasked with coaching the little league team that his nephew plays on, and his ex-girlfriend co-coaches. It doesn't take long for the old demons of his father to haunt his every moment, which pushes him closer to the edge. Can Cory make a comeback and put his demons behind him? Does the little league team ever win a game? Is there a rekindling of romance with his ex? Stop reading my review and BUY THE BOOK!

    Is this a man's book? This books is not a typical male macho kill a hundred people, swim across the ocean and backpack across the Sahara, but this book is a must read for men struggling with their past and where their future fits into it. Redemption is the main theme throughout, but not only for Cory and his family, but always just the way that Cory sees himself.

    I am not a big fan of sports and was not sure if I would like this book at first. However, it exceeded my expectations and it blew my emotions right out of the ballpark!!! It is a moving, emotional and powerful story that is totally inspiring. It focus' on one man's struggles with his past and his present addictions. It is about his journey of recovery~~a story of reviving his broken and shattered spirit and heart, restoring his soul, and renewing his life through God's grace, guidance and promise.

    Home Run is a winner!! I applaud Travis for writing this incredibly inspiring book. I loved it from beginning to end and would highly recommend it. It is a great story!!!!

    Home Run is a very inspirational story. It is well written and I found it hard to put down once I started reading it. I like the way the book goes back and forth from Cory's present day life and his childhood and how his childhood made an impact on his current adult life.

    I think a lot of us can relate to some of the things Cory was dealing with.

    The story confirmed for me that only God can heal our addictions whatever they may be.

    I received a free copy of this book from bookfun.org in return for my opinions and honest review of this book.

    Travis Thrasher in his new book, "Home Run" published by David C Cook brings us into the life of Cory Brand.

    From the back cover: It's Never Too Late...

    Baseball star Cory Brand knows how to win. But off the field, he's spiraling out of control. Haunted by old wounds and regrets, his future seems as hopeless as his past.

    Until one moment--one mistake--changes everything. To save his career, Cory must go back to the town where it all began. His plan is simple: coach the local baseball team, complete a recovery program, and get out as fast as possible. Instead, he runs headfirst into memories he can't escape ... and the love he left behind.

    Faced with a second chance he never expected, Cory embarks on a journey of faith, transformation and redemption. And along the way, he discovers a powerful truth: no one is beyond the healing of God.

    A novel based on the major motion picture starring Vivica A. Fox and Scott Elrod, Home Run is an inspirational story of the hope and freedom God offers each of us.

    ...Freedom Is Possible.

    "Home Run" is a novelization of the original motion picture of the same name. Mr. Thrasher has taken the story and expanded the character's roles and back story. "Home Run" is a baseball story. It is also a story of one man's battle against alcohol addiction and the haunting memories of his childhood. Cory Brand is a talented player at the top of his game but he is suspended because of his self-absorption. So he goes home to coach Little League in Oklahoma because of an accident he caused to his brother, the real coach. Now he is given the opportunity to recover from his alcohol addiction and repair the broken relationships in his life but he cannot do any of it on his own. Not only does he need the power of God he needs to rely on others to help him. "Home Run" is a remarkable story of healing, recovery, restoration and love. It is a with real life situations that have faith-based answers. Mr. Thrasher brings incredible realism to Cory Brand and the rest of the characters that you will be sorry to see the book end. The good news is that there is a movie out there that you can go see and eventually own on DVD. I recommend it highly.
