Product Description
Josh Hamilton was the first player chosen in the first round of the 1999 baseball draft. He was destined to be one of those rare "high-character " superstars. But in 2001, working his way from the minors to the majors, all of the plans for Josh went off the rails in a moment of weakness. What followed was a 4-year nightmare of drugs and alcohol, estrangement from friends and family, and his eventual suspension from baseball.
BEYOND BELIEF details the events that led up to the derailment. Josh explains how a young man destined for fame and wealth could allow his life to be taken over by drugs and alcohol. But it is also the memoir of a spiritual journey that breaks through pain and heartbreak and leads to the rebirth of his major-league career.
Josh Hamilton makes no excuses and places no blame on anyone other than himself. He takes responsibility for his poor decisions and believes his story can help millions who battle the same demons. "I have been given a platform to tell my story" he says. "I pray every night I am a good messenger."

This Book Is A Good Addiction Recovery and Baseball Book November 30, 2008
Josh Hamilton, through his performance in the 2008 baseball season, was given the platform, to be able to have a book published about his life. The book detailed much about his drug use and stays at treatment facilities. I was impressed by the story of his resilience and the people who stood by him, especially his grandmother and father-in-law. His story also shows that even though his parents supported him and traveled with him during his first two years, one bad decision can snowball into many more poor ones. This is a great book for baseball fans or those in recovery from drug addiction.
Josh Hamilton, "Beyond Belief." November 25, 2008
I bought this book for my son, who plays college baseball. It was to be a Christmas present for him, but I decided to read it myself. I picked it up at 4:00 one Sunday afternoon and could not put it down, I finished it the next night. A 'must read' for anyone interested in baseball, or anyone who is searching for help. Josh's biography is written to help others who may be tempted - and who isn't tempted' A beautiful story of how, when we surrender our problems to Christ, no matter how big, He can help make our dreams come true. Thank you Josh for sharing your life story and your faith in a God that is bigger than any problem.

Great story that transcends baseball. This is a story about life and struggle and overcoming adversity while still having to wrestle with demons each and every day. Every teenager and parent should read this book to understand this true story!
You cannot put this book down! November 17, 2008

I received my book on a Friday. I had it finished by that night - I couldn't put it down. My wife started it as soon as I was finished, and she had it read in less than 24 hours. I have loaned it some other family members, and one of them just read it in one day!
Thee book is an amazing chronicle of the highs and lows of Josh Hamilton. You are with him not only when he is the #1 overall draft pick in Major League Baseball, but also during the darkest moments of drug addiction. It is also an amazing, but not overdone, story of faith that is honestly and compellingly written. You will be moved and inspired by this young man's life and struggles. Read this book, and I can just about guarantee that you will not be able to put it down.
