The Game Isn't Over: Principles for Every Inning of Life by Tom Greene, Onward Books, 2009.
The Game Isn’t Over! Quite the title. Every man who is highly successful and those less so need to read this book. Every man blue collar or white needs to read the book. As Yogi Berra said so eloquently, “It ain’t over ’til it’s over.” And that is true in the game of life.
Author Tom Greene does a masterful job of speaking directly to the heart of most guys who understand sports, whether they are any good at them or not. He knows that we all are at different stages in the game called life. None of us bat a thousand. Some of us think we’ve gone beyond the point of productivity and it is over for us. Greene suggests you think again!
The book sequentially walks through the issues of family, church, life and legacy. As one would guess with anything Tom Greene writes, it is full of scripture from observation to recommendation. Then, best of all, it concludes with a winning strategy.
Greene says it well in his introduction. “The game isn’t over, friend. Whether your life appears to be just beginning or coming down to the final pitches, it’s a game God intends for you to keep playing with all the strength He gives. If you’ve fallen into a rut of observing the action from outside the fence and wondering how to get in, this book is for you.”
“The game of life is in your hands to win or lose. Don’t miss one pitch. The most exciting moments of your life are still to come!”
