Frankly, I’m not sure when baseball begins this year. It looks like my son may have a Little League season in 2021, which didn’t happen in 2020. Beyond that, I don’t know what’s on and what’s off anymore, but I do know that the advent of spring makes me long for baseball.
Here are some baseball books – some with a little baseball on the side, some with baseball as the main course. They range from Little League (All in Good Time) to high school sports (An Unexpected Role) to minor leagues (The Bird and the Bees) to major leagues (The Thirteenth Chance, Homestands).

Lent is often a time for picking up a spiritual book and delving deeper into Christ’s Passion. These five books go deeper in unique ways. With one exception, these books are, or include, biblical fiction. We know fiction builds empathy, so what a great way to immerse yourself in the life of Christ this holy season!
3 CommentsI made a last-minute decision to bring back one of the best things I did online in 2020 – the #CatholicFictionChallenge! I’ve kept some categories the same, others are new. Still 100% fun.
So, why bring it back?
One of my “things” is to be an advocate for Catholic fiction!
What is Catholic fiction? Well, we could have a scholarly discussion on the topic, but for our purposes here, let’s say it’s fiction written with a Catholic worldview.
To help bring some of the fantastic Catholic fiction out there to the forefront, I’m again hosting an IG challenge in February that will allow us to share our favorites and not-yet favorites that have caught our eye so that more and more readers (including me!) can discover them.

If you’re on Instagram, please join in the #CatholicFictionChallenge beginning February 1, 2021. Join us for one day, every day, or somewhere in between.
