Book Review: The Great Black Hope By Jason Reid

Revisado: 04-08-25

The Great Black Hope is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the journey and impact of Black quarterbacks in the National Football League. Jason Reid takes listeners through decades of challenges, breakthroughs, and triumphs that have reshaped the NFL’s most high-profile position. The book isn’t just about football—it’s about representation, systemic barriers, and the resilience of athletes who refused to be sidelined.

Reid’s storytelling gives voice to pioneers like Warren Moon, Randall Cunningham, and Doug Williams, while connecting their legacies to today’s stars like Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson. This book is essential for anyone who wants to understand how race intersects with sports and leadership in America.

I highly recommend taking the time to listen to this book. It provides context to today’s NFL and offers a deeper appreciation for the athletes who changed the game—both on and off the field. It’s a must-hear for football fans, students of history, and those passionate about social justice.

Mitch Albom’s The Five People You Meet in Heaven is a beautifully written, thought-provoking story that left me deeply moved. It follows Eddie, an ordinary man with an extraordinary journey in the afterlife, where he meets five people who reveal how their lives were interconnected with his.

The book is a profound exploration of purpose, forgiveness, and the impact we unknowingly have on others. Albom’s ability to weave together poignant lessons with heartfelt storytelling makes this a truly unforgettable read.

I highly recommend The Five People You Meet in Heaven to anyone looking for an inspiring and thought-provoking read. It’s a book that will stay with you long after you turn the last page.

The practical nature of the story

I really enjoy this. I wish I kept my Bible near as he was reciting different verses, but I appreciate the history and the practical nature of this book.

The relevance of the information

Xaviera has been around for a long time, and I was under the impression that some of the information that she was sharing would be aged, but it was very informative and extremely insightful.

I love the story & performance

Revisado: 12-17-22

This was one of the best performances of an audio book that I’ve heard in a very long time. Richard Durhams portrayal of Muhammad Ali keeps you throughout the entire story.

The theological hogwash in this book is an F

Revisado: 06-12-22

There was moments in this book that I thought it would be promising and not so divisive but as I continue to listen to it it just got worse and worse. Really this is the most one-sided depiction of our presidency that I’ve ever listen to. I think whoever put this book together clearly was a conservative Republican and did not look objectively across all of the leaders the same.
