It is one of he best book I ever read. I love the way Og Mandino encoraged me to live my daily life to its fullest. "Everyday I bacame better and better." No matter how huge the tossing storm of life is I will "never, never,never, never, never give up."
Touching story. One of his more recent. Unlike his others, this one focuses completely on the tale and not ways to better yourself. If you're in the mood for something light, moving and inspirational, this is always a nice choice.
I hadnt ever read Og Mandino before and enjoyed his simple, kind, beautiful style. I can tell he is truly a gem of a person and while I really cant stand baseball, I had a delightful time reading about it thru Og's eyes! Touching story.
nice moral novel. Man's wife and son die; he is mourning and thinking of suicide. Then life changed when he is asked to coach little league team. One small boy touches his heart and teaches him to care about life again.
This was my first Mandino (I picked up some others as well) and I cried like a baby through the whole thing. I would have given it 5 stars except I had a headache from all the crying at the end.

I love stories like this, very uplifting and feel-good, formulaic though it may be.
Timothy and I share the same first name and birthday (March 12) so that gave me goosebumps in the end.

Uplifting but very cliched. I read this several years ago on the recommendation of a friend and would recommend it for anyone looking for an uplifting story and a quick read.

in the first i feel so bored because it's all about baseball games but i fell touch in the middle and the last part of the story coz it have a good deeds.........
This has been one o my favorite books ever since we read it as a family probably 10+ years ago. "day by day in every way I'm getting better and better..."
Down and out? This one will absolutely lift your spirits up and egg you to keep on going on. Be ready with a box of tissue.
This is an excellent book. I have read it several times and bought it as gifts for several of my friends. Recommend it highly!
this is a very cute and inspiring book if you want a good uplifting story i reccemend this book.

I love this book, it always remind me that there's a reason why you meet the people that you meet.
Te lo avientas en 2 patadas, creo que la mejor forma de describirlo es:
Una GRAN historia en pocas páginas. Conmovedora a más no poder, no es el típico "¿quién se ha robado mi queso?" o cosas por el estilo.
Una narrativa genial que nos lleva a cambiar la forma de ver las cosas. De mis recomendaciones MÁS fuertes.

A book to read for perspective & a great cry
Superb!!! I just love ALL his books! Highly recommend!
A slim book - easy read and formulaic tearjerker about courage and hope. Predictable.
a bit of a tearjerker with religious theme
Very touching and inspiring story.
touching...i love this book♥
