GOD AND STARBUCKS
 
Sixteen years ago, Vin Baker was an NBA All-Star, an Olympic Gold medalist and a multimillionaire. While he excelled on the court, Vin harbored a dark secret: a dependency on drugs and alcohol that began after the clean-cut preacher�s son turned pro. Eventually becoming a full-blown yet functional alcoholic, Vin convinced himself he played better under the influence�until his addiction cost him his basketball career, his fortune and his health.

But Vin�s story isn�t a tragic fall from grace. It is a joyous tale of salvation. For Vin, hitting rock bottom was a difficult yet transformative experience that led him to renew his relationship with God and embrace life in a rich and fulfilling new way. Today the manager of a Starbucks and a youth minister, Vin has found more security and happiness in his ordinary working life than in all of his years in the glamourous world of professional basketball.

God and Starbucks is a wise and unflinching look at the real dangers of addiction and the importance of taking charge of your life with meaning and purpose. It�s a powerful memoir about reaching the top and beginning again from the bottom�an inspiring personal tale of humility and grace that reminds us what is truly important in our lives.
