Review
Del has done a fabulous job in collecting stories, testimonies, and nuggets from many major league players and coaches in their walk with our Lord. Dugout Devotions 2 is inspirational and transforming to all ages. I am blessed to be included in this book and love walking side by side with Del in providing honest examples of Christian mentorship. —Dave Jauss, bench coach, New York Yankees Dugout Devotions 2 is another inspirational hit that is sure to strengthen your walk with the Lord. Author Del Duduit once again combines the love of baseball with Christian principles in a way that will encourage anyone who reads this book. Inside the pages, you will read about the faith of some of the biggest names in professional baseball and what Jesus Christ means to them. I am once again humbled to be a part of the second Dugout Devotions and locking arms and running errands for Jesus with my friend Del. —Clint Hurdle, retired MLB manager and player My friend and author Del Duduit has written an encouraging sequel to Dugout Devotions. I was honored to be included in the first one, but I am just as excited to read Dugout Devotions 2. This game of life is not easy, and we all need inspiration and motivation to keep swinging, even when we are down for the count. This book has those components. I like how Del took his personal interviews with some MLB stars and turned them into devotions we all need every day. This is a grand slam. —Tim Martin, MLB scout I love Jesus with all my heart and as a former professional baseball player, I have a passion for the game of baseball. I truly appreciate how author Del Duduit has intertwined the two topics (faith in Jesus and baseball) with both motivational and inspirational messages from well-known players and coaches in Major League Baseball. These testimonies of faith from players are weaved with messages of hope as well as salvation for everyone to read and receive. This book, Dugout Devotions 2, will be a blessing to you and your walk with Jesus Christ. —Stan Lovins II, evangelist, president of Sandlot Ministries Throughout life, you will be pitched some difficult balls to hit. But if you work hard, practice, and stay close to God, you will never strike out. In Dugout Devotions 2, you will read about how MLB All-Stars relied on their faith in the Lord to see them through challenging times. The best way to enjoy this life and hit a home run is to let God swing the bat for you. I am blessed to be a small part of Dugout Devotions 2. —Al Oliver, World Series champion, National League batting champion Wow . . . Del Duduit does it again in Dugout Devotions 2. Whenever big-name athletes give big-time testimonies, it’s a sure-fire recipe for success. With his insightful spiritual commentary and his passionate love for God, Del takes everything to a brand-new level. Another divine Grand Slam! —Dr. John Huang, Nolan Media Group Del Duduit is a master storyteller. You just don’t read what Del writes but rather you become immersed in what is written as if you were there just beyond his shoulder listening to the conversation as it unfolded. You will enjoy Dugout Devotions 2, and you will consider it time well spent again and again. —Dave MacDonald, cohost of the Exercise Your Faith podcast Del Duduit has taken his reporter experience and given you another excellent book of devotions. Dugout Devotions 2 features players and coaches of great faith. The “On Deck” and “Step Up to the Plate” features in the book help you apply faith lessons to your life. —Billie Jauss, author of Making Room: Doing Less So God Can Do More
