Shattered by Frank Pastore

I received Shattered: Struck Down, But Not Destroyed“ by Frank Pastore from Tyndale House publishers as a for review purposes. This is about the life of Frank Pastore told by himself. It shows his growth from son of an atheist and atheist himself to one day accepting Christ in the bathroom stall in the club house of a major league baseball stadium. The book takes you  through the emotions Frank was going through throughout his life from early on from a verbally abusive mother to the end of his baseball career. Looking back on his life Franks says that he can see how God worked in it even when he did not even notice it at the time. What a true statement that is!

Shattered is a honest, fast and easy read. Frank’s life  is almost an adventure. The book takes you through Frank’s emotional journey through life as if you where walking it right there with him. The book is well written and shows just how passionate Frank is about the Kingdom of God and wanting others to know God.

What I got most form this book is that God is always present. Even in the ups and downs of life He is there and all he wants is a relationship with you. Through him you can make it through anything life throws your way. This life story is proof that we serve a all powerful God that has the ability to love all and to break generational curses that would have the ability to ruin families.
