Which side of the barbed wire prison fences are the bad guys? Likewise, on the outside of those fences who are the good guys? This is an insightful true story of how a rag-tag minimum security prison slow pitch softball team in the Blue Ridge Mountains entered into a small city softball league as an experiment into integrating inmates back into the community and how these unseemly men persevered, triumphed and won the respect and acceptance of the whole community: always remembering: “…There is none righteous, no, not one:” (Romans 3:10).

We, as Christians, so often seek to comprehend the spiritual with our minds rather than our hearts, all to our own detriment. The Holy Trinity cannot be “figured” out in our minds. He must be experienced in order to be understood. Just as “the brightness of his glory” can only be found in the darkness of the cross; the Holy Trinity can only be found in the journey of a seeking heart, and Jim takes us on a journey through scripture in search of the Holy Trinity in order that we come to know Him whom we seek, “even as also I am known” (1 Corinthians 13:12).
