About this ebook
In Greenvale, Kansas, Jack grows up surrounded by family, friendship, faith, and a community that helps shape his understanding of service. From childhood, he and his closest friends help neighbors in need. On the playing field, preparation and teamwork help him develop as an athlete and leader. Behind it all is an ambition Jack has carried since he was young: someday, he wants to become President of the United States.
As his world expands, so do the questions he asks.
Jack’s Christian beliefs influence how he thinks about truth, morality, responsibility, political divisions, and controversial issues facing the country. Rather than defining himself simply by a traditional party label, he considers what it means to approach public life through the values he believes should guide both individuals and leaders.
Christian Athlete from Kansas: First Independent U.S. President by Kyle Baker blends sports, faith, friendship, family, service, and political aspiration in a fictional journey about a young man developing his own vision of leadership.
For readers interested in athletic achievement, Christian themes, civic questions, and stories about pursuing an uncommon goal, Jack’s journey offers a distinctive meeting place between the playing field and public life.
