A record-breaking MLB star turned minister shares the wisdom he gained from overcoming hardships—and reminds us that it’s never too late to find a new life through love, generosity, compassion, and personal growth.

With four World Series rings, baseball legend Darryl Strawberry is one of the greatest hitters in the long history of the New York Mets, with a home-run record that held for 37 years. But Darryl’s success on the baseball field came hand-in-hand with personal challenges that included substance abuse, divorces, cancer, and jail time.

Two decades ago, he overcame the demons brought on by his childhood traumas and found true redemption and restoration. Today, as an ordained Minister of the Gospel, his purpose and passion is helping others transform their lives.

Another Life takes readers on the road with Darryl as he travels around the country with his son Jordan, preaching 270 days a year at motivational conferences and churches, and in schools, prisons, and hospitals. Strawberry’s life experiences show us that we all can heal what’s broken and hurting on the inside, and that our physical health is as important as our emotional and spiritual health.

In these pages, he reflects on the invaluable lessons he’s learned—and the deep-rooted values and principles he’s gained—through hard experience, the powerful living examples of his mother Ruby and wife Tracy, and his eventual acceptance of Christ’s unconditional love.

Everyone knows Darryl Strawberry as the home-run king. Another Life shares Darryl’s true legacy as a minister, father, and a believer in restoration, redemption, and starting over.
