Beschreibung
When the tragic, separate deaths of his parents leave Jed Stone an orphan at seven, he embarks on a volatile path fueled by bad choices. After Jed is befriended by a youth pastor who takes him to see a 1943 Chicago Cub World Series game, an errant baseball lands in the bleachers next to them. Among a stampede of wild fans, Jed snags the baseball and later hides it in a secret place. As Jed grows older, the youth pastor, Peter, attempts to share the concept of Gods unconditional love with the boy who will have none of it. As Jeds checkered path leads him from reform school into a life of crime, Peter never wavers in his support of him. When a judge orders Jed to enlist in the Marine Corps, Jed entrusts Peter with his secret and asks him to keep the coveted baseball hidden. Despite all of Peters efforts and Jeds heroism as a marine, his choices eventually leads him to dark days and eventually full circle where he will make a decision that shines a much-needed ray of hope on two unsuspecting souls on Christmas Day. In this inspirational tale, a troubled boy sets out on a coming-of-age journey where he learns about the power of a baseball, Gods love, and his own generous heart.
