Bob Muzikowski often jogged past the kids of Cabrini Green - kids who were usually neglected, abused or ignored by the outside world. But one day he had an idea. Or maybe he just heard God's idea. "What if he transformed a field, that had become an urban wasteland, into a baseball diamond for kids?" That idea led to a string of events that would drastically change the lives of kids in need of care, professionals in need of service, entire communities, and his own family. "Safe at Home" tells Muzikowski's lifelong journey. The first half of the book tells of his remarkable childhood (he had more experiences, both good and bad, than most of us have in a lifetime). By looking at the front cover of the book, and knowing a bit about it, I knew things in his life were going to get better, but it seemed impossible as I was reading it. He was far from being a Godly young man. His turn-around is very inspiring, and he gives credit to the right source.

If you have interest in Godly life transformation, finding purpose in life, leading volunteers, baseball, addiction recovery, stewardship issues, or urban, racial & socio-economic issues, I highly recommend this read. It's really fun to read, it's very well written, and it will challenge you to the core.
Two additional notes:
1. As an added note, our friends at By the Hand Club for Kids know Bob and he is the real deal.
2. Keanau Reeves and a number of people behind the movie "Hardball" punked Bob, the coaches & the community in the making of that film. They were horrendous. I might think about boycotting his movies, but he's never had one worth watching, so it's not an issue. ha ha.
