當生命遭逢巨大悲傷的時候，你是否曾想過一了百了？

THE TWELFTH ANGEL, by Og Mandino
AR: Yes
Interest Level: Upper Grades
John Harding's life is perfect—he is in love with his wife, they have a wonderful seven year old son, and they’ve just moved back to his hometown in the heart of New England. He’s recently been named the president and CEO of one of the largest computer companies in the nation—and then his world falls apart. His wife and son are killed in a car accident, leaving John behind, empty, alone, and ready to end it all. He’s got the gun out, pointed at his head, when he is interrupted by someone banging on his door, then on his window. One of his childhood friends has come to ask a favor—he wants him to manage a Little League team, the Angels, with him. Hearing his wife’s voice in his head telling him he can do it—he decides to give it a go, and meets Timothy in the process. Timothy, the twelfth Angel picked in the draft, is a tiny boy, with virtually no athletic ability. He has the heart of a champion though, and proves to be just what the team and John Harding need. Timothy’s fighting spirit and can-do attitude make John see that anything is possible in this life if you just believe, and never give up. This book will be enjoyed by any teenage boy or adult who loves the game of baseball—and has fond memories of Little League.
上帝若無故奪走了你生命中重要的人，是否真會派來天使？
他放下工作，收拾起結束一切的念頭帶領這個球隊，希望忙碌能藉此忘懷傷痛。在天使隊中他遇到了11歲的小男孩提摩西，不同於他什麼都有的兒子瑞克，提摩西家境貧寒，身軀異常地瘦小、動作緩慢而又不協調，老是無法成功地投球與打擊，但他有有異於常人的毅力，他最常說的就是: 「日復一日，我會變得更好」 和 「絕不放棄」。約翰從這個小男孩身上學到了許多，並讓他逐漸忘失去親人的痛楚。當他決定要重回工作崗位，開始新人生的時候，一個醫生來訪，告訴了他提摩西的秘密……
日復一日，在每一個層面，我會越來越進步！
永遠，永遠，永遠，永遠，永遠，永遠不放棄！
