CFBA Presents One Fine Season by Michael Sheehan

One Fine Season created a buzz on the CFBA blog. I'm told the story contains questionable theology and vulgar language. After flipping through the book, I noticed a *F* bomb. I constantly ask God to put a guard over my mouth, therefore, I can not recommend reading this book. Edgy Christian fiction should not lead the reader astray. There are ways to convey emotion without the use of foul language. Determine for yourself if you'll read One Fine Season by reading Linda's and Sally's review, (they've read the entire book)and the reviews on Amazon.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Michael Sheehan is CEO and founder of BioResource, a company that distributes natural remedies including the popular INFLAMYAR ointment for sports injuries. He wrote One Fine Season to honor the memories of two childhood friends who died young, before they could realize their dreams.

One Fine Season is true to life. It draws on Sheehan’s religious education at a Catholic seminary and his experience as a high school baseball and collegiate soccer player. A graduate of Santa Clara University, Sheehan also earned a master’s degree in science journalism from Boston University. He lives in Northern California.


ABOUT THE BOOK

ONE FINE SEASON tells the story of a promising young athlete who must rise from the ashes of devastating personal loss to fulfill a pact made years earlier with his best friend.

Best friends Pete O’Brien and Danny Grace are gifted college athletes, both hoping for careers as professional baseball players. When tragedy strikes, Danny struggles to cope with his overwhelming grief and fulfill a pact the young men made years earlier: to play in the World Series.

Events unexpectedly thrust Danny into the spotlight with the new expansion team in Sacramento. Three guides – an aging catcher, spiritual centerfielder and wise manager – plus a beautiful woman lead him on a healing journey, revealing that even death cannot break the bonds of true friendship.

wow really??? i didn't request this one. that's just wow. this is self published?

CeeCee said...

Yes, but I don't want to imply that self-published automatically means questionable material. It doesn't run through the same filter as a CBA book. However, I'm starting to question some CBA books. But that's another topic for another day.

CeeCee,
I highly recommend Sally's review of the book. She was gracious, and loving in her review.
