Stretched: How God Uses People and Events to Stretch Us and to Grow Our Faith

This book traces a journey of resilience, faith, and personal growth. As a youth enamored with sports, particularly baseball, the author reflects on the pivotal role of 'stretching' – from the physical demands of reaching for a ball at first base to the metaphorical stretching in facing life's trials. With candid anecdotes and insights, he explores how each stretch, whether on the field or in faith, pushed him beyond comfort zones, fostering growth and fortitude. Now at 60, he pens these reflections as a testament to God's hand in his life, aiming to inspire and encourage readers of all ages to embrace life stretches with courage and faith. "Alford weaves together sports anecdotes and life lessons to inspire readers of all ages to embrace challenges as opportunities for personal growth and spiritual development." -NewInBooks
