Darryl Strawberry has an intimate understanding of Gods redemptive power and his ability to change a person from the inside out. Over the years, I have watched Darryl become a bold and unapologetic preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ. In his new book, Turn Your Season Around, Darryl shares not only how he has put Christ at the center of his life but also how you can experience Gods abundant life for yourself.

Since Im a fan of Darryl Strawberry, it broke my heart to learn about his personal struggles with drugs and other related problems. It was very encouraging to hear that he has become a Christian and has transformed his life! But how did it happen? How does someone go from an addict to an evangelist? In Turn Your Season Around, Strawberry describes what it takes to follow God every day. This biblically rich book will challenge you to walk more closely with Jesus and will remind you that God is always with you during all your trials, no matter what.

Some people tell us how to turn our lives around. Others show us how to turn our lives around. Darryl Strawberry powerfully does both with his own compelling story of authentic transformation. Every person searching for hope will be transformed by his inspiring real-life message.

GENE APPEL, SENIOR PASTOR OF EASTSIDE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA

Many of us fell in love with Darryl Strawberry the baseball player, but the victories hes won off the field far surpass any ring or title that sporting competition can offer. Darryls life is the epitome of turning ones season around.

TODD DULANEY, GRAMMY-NOMINATED SINGER/SONGWRITER

This book is an absolute walk-off grand slam for the gospel by one of the greatest hitters who ever played the game, my friend Darryl Strawberry. Everyone who has played baseball will never view it the same. Those whove never played will grow to love it as Darryl leads us graciously and powerfully to love and live for Jesus! The Bible says, Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encouragewith great patience and careful instruction (2 Timothy 4:2 NIV). Darryl does that, and no matter what season of life you find yourself in, he can help you turn it around. The first time I ever spoke to Darryl, he said, Pastor, if you want me to come and talk about baseball, I dont want to do that. But if you want me to come and talk about Jesus, Im your man. Every man in America, young and old, needs to read this book. Youll be changed by it and giving it away to everyone you know. Its a story that needs to be heard, from one of the humblest men I know.

BARRY L. CAMERON, PASTOR OF CROSSROADS CHRISTIAN CHURCH, GRAND PRAIRIE, TEXAS

Darryl Strawberry had the sweetest left-handed home run swing in baseball, surpassed only by the sweetness he has in his heart for God and for people. He was a warrior on the diamond, and now he is a warrior in his mission to help transform lives as God has dynamically transformed his own. Im honored to call Darryl a friend and a brother. I strongly encourage you to read his book. You will be both encouraged and blessed!

MICHAEL FRANZESE

Darryls life is one of the most amazing examples of Gods transformative power, comfort, and grace. He turned the most important season of his life around, and so can you.

ED MYLETT

My friend Darryl Strawberry is an inspiring example of a man who has a life-changing relationship with Jesus. It has been said that genuine faith does not make bad men better but rather dead men come to life! That is the transformation I see in Darryl, and youll discover how that same power can change you if you read Turn Your Season Around.

CAM HUXFORD, LEAD PASTOR OF COMPASSION CHRISTIAN CHURCH, SAVANNAH, GEORGIA

The first time I heard Darryl Strawberry speak, sharing the principles in this book, I had forgotten he was a legendary baseball player. I was more captivated by the message of an anointed man of God. This book will show you how to move closer to God through his Word and the power of his Spirit. It is a must-read for those who love God.

TOMMY BARNETT, GLOBAL PASTOR OF DREAM CITY CHURCH, PHOENIX, COPASTOR OF LOS ANGELES DREAM CENTER

The split second of a ball exploding off a bat and hitting the winning home run in a World Series is the same amount of time that is needed for God to change and transform a human life. By reading this book, you will be mesmerized by the power of God to change a life for the better and for his glory.

DUDLEY RUTHERFORD, PASTOR OF SHEPHERD CHURCH, PORTER RANCH, CALIFORNIA

Turn Your Season Around describes how to stay the course and follow God no matter what you may have done and no matter what may have been done to you. God can change anyones life. No one can tell this story better than Darryl Strawberry.
