Baseball Family: Nine Core Qualities for Developing Healthy Relationships, (Paperback)

Life is a whole lot like baseball.

As the wife of a Major League Baseball coach, Billie Jauss discovered firsthand that what happens on the field...often takes place outside the ballpark as well.

In the baseball world, we don't get to choose the friends we spend time with during the baseball season. They come with the team. Still, community must be built and relationships fostered. Navigating the different connections is challenging.

How much can we share with those in our circles?

Who are our true, close friends, and who are those who we will only spend time with for a season?

Baseball Family explores four distinct relationships we often encounter: accidental acquaintance, social contacts, kindred spirits, and forever family.

Readers will learn the starting nine core qualities to strengthen each type of relationship. When we learn the virtues of selflessness, inclusion, support, peacemaker, encourager, compassion, respect, trustworthiness, and generosity, we can help to cultivate loving relationships with people we may or may not choose.

Step up to the plate and prepare yourself for how to make all your relationships-close and far-flourish.
