Glenn Wilson believed from the time he was young that he was
destined to be a pro athlete. His journey from lightly recruited
high school student athlete to first round draft pick of the
Detroit Tigers in 1980 was the script that many only dream about
becoming reality. Glenn achieved his goal, playing ten seasons in
Major League Baseball, including making the National League
All-Star team in 1985. Injuries and disappointment shortened
Glenn's career, and when investments soured causing business
ventures to fail, he found himself living in pain and misery. In
that pain, he went in search of fulfillment and on that journey
Glenn came to know what it meant to truly have a relationship with
God. Headed Home takes you on this journey from childhood to
athlete to a broken man finding the hope of knowing Jesus Christ.
When Glenn experienced the grace of Christ, his life would never be
the same. This book brings us the hope that God has a plan for all
of us and that he longs to change our lives. "Headed Home is a
tumultuous ride through the world of Major League Baseball. Glenn
Wilson was an All Star, but he didn't really find his personal home
plate until long after his last at bat. Glenn was always a funny,
life-of-the-party type guy, but this book is more likely to produce
the sweet sorrow of a tear." Larry Dierker Former player and
manager Houston Astros "Glenn Wilson has bared his soul for all to
read in Headed Home. His life as a baseball player has been well
known, especially in the Houston area. But he has been willing to
open up about his life off the field as well, giving us perspective
on how many changes a person can undergo with God's guidance. From
his relationships with his older brother, Johnie Jr., to his
experiences with his coaches and managers, Glenn's honesty shines
through. He leaves a powerful message for all to take from this
book." Bill Brown Announcer of Houston Astros Member of the Texas
Sports Hall of Fame
