Father Burke Masters once lived the dream in a clutch moment for Mississippi State. In the College Baseball quarterfinals, Masters hit a walk-off Grand Slam to take his school to the College World Series.
He longed to dream of playing in the Major Leagues. However, God had a different plan. His vocation story is recalled in his memoir from his childhood to his acceptance of his vocation and many curveballs thrown in between.
A Grand Slam for God: A Journey from Baseball Star to Catholic Priest is available now on Word on Fire. To order, visit the link here.

Catholic Millennial. I hail from Philadelphia, PA. 4th-degree member of the Knights of Columbus. I enjoy writing, traveling, ballroom dancing, meeting new people, having deep conversations over a cold beer or wine (sometimes champagne), and petting adorable dogs that come right past me.
I hope to convey more messages from our culture with a twist of faith.
Some of my writings will range from pro-life (yes, men can have a say in the abortion issue, Karen), pop culture, history, and just some spontaneous reflections without warning
