—Greg Laurie, pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship and evangelist for Harvest Crusades
“I managed Straw on the field, but his greatest victories came off it. This book shows the courage it takes to confront your past and embrace a new life—a story that will inspire anyone seeking redemption.”
—Joe Torre, Hall of Fame manager
“Darryl Strawberry has been a brother to me through the highest of highs on the world’s biggest stages and the toughest moments off the field. To witness his transformation into a man of such profound faith and purpose is the greatest ‘comeback’ I have ever seen. He was a titan in the dugout, but the man he is today is my true inspiration.”
—David Cone, five-time World Series champion
“There was always a goodness in Darryl Strawberry, but that goodness would frequently lose the battle with the demons. Now he has conquered them and he is not just satisfied with his own salvation but has made the redemptive journeys of others his mission. He has turned one life into Another Life and it has been so satisfying to witness his amazing journey.”
—Michael Kay, voice of the New York Yankees on YES Network
“In Another Life, Darryl opens his heart and shares the powerful story of redemption, restoration, and the healing power of Christ. His journey reminds us that no life is too broken for God to restore and no past is too far gone for His grace to reach. Darryl’s willingness to share both the victories and the struggles of his life will encourage countless people who are searching for hope and a new beginning.”
—Dr. Gabriel L. Swaggart, pastor at Family Worship Center and president of Jimmy Swaggart Bible College
