Why "Ballin' With Books"?
Lovers of sports can also be lovers of good books too, especially if they contain stories that they can relate to and hold their attention. If a book can do that, then it will spark conversation that can both help and encourage others. That is what "Ballin' With Books" is all about! We want to be the avenue designed to encourage all people, no matter what their interests. We also want your thoughts! Contact Cyrus A. Webb at 601.896.5616 or via email at cawebb4@juno.com.
