Twin brothers David and Jason Benham grew up with big dreams of baseball and an even bigger trust in God. Though they attended a small high school with no baseball field, turned down a professional offer so they could attend college together, and faced more than one missed pitch and injuries, they kept dreaming, praying together on the field, and believing in God's provision for their lives.

David and Jason's journey, from Little League to college to professional baseball and beyond, reminds us that even when we don't know what God is up to, He's putting together the pieces of our life's puzzle and executing the plans He has for each of us.

Miracle in Shreveport tells the story of a family's love, the power of prayer, and a game that is truly all-American. It is also the story of brotherhood staying strong, despite the threat of comparison in a profession committed to competition. Most of all, it is the story of being faithful in small steps, honoring God in the process, and trusting His hand in our lives. In this audio book, the Benhams call us to remember that when we follow God's dream for us, we find it is better than we could have ever dreamed for ourselves.

      Twin brothers David and Jason Benham, sons of a baseball-loving pastor, narrate their own story of growing up in Texas, where they dreamed of becoming ballplayers good enough to get drafted. Throughout their youth they focused on one goal: playing together in a stadium in Shreveport, Louisiana. The genuine tone of the brothers' narration lends authenticity to their audiobook. With Southern accents and clear diction, the Benhams tell how they succeeded at their dream. While their voices are similar, they avoid confusion by identifying themselves when needed ("I, David . . ." and "I, Jason . . ."). The brothers' story is interesting and supported by a strong dose of prayer. M.B. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
