Jackie Robinson believed in a God who sides with the oppressed and who

calls us to see one another as sisters and brothers. This faith was a powerful but

quiet engine that drove and sustained him as he shattered racial barriers on and

beyond the baseball diamond. Jackie Robinson: A Spiritual

Biography explores the faith that, Robinson said, carried him through the

torment and abuse he suffered for integrating the major leagues and drove him to get

involved in the civil rights movement. Marked by sacrifice and service,

inclusiveness and hope, Robinson’s faith shaped not only his character but also

baseball and America itself.
