Kirsten and Scott--a husband and wife that are separated by jailhouse walls, as he is incarcerated despite his innocence. He is facing life in prison without the possibility of parole. As a family of 4, and then 5, as the story unfolds, Scott and Kirsten knew the "good life." But God had a better one in store. They first had to be broken. They plumb new depths of their faith and in their knowledge of the Word in these days that some would consider dark, but that God infused with great joy. Throughout a total of 16 months of separation they wrote letters to each other that are filled with the stories that capture the depth of their love, family life, fear, questioning, and details of what God is doing in, around and through them. Many of the letters are laced with snaphots of jailhouse interactions in the maximum security unit where God still dwells. It is inspiring to see how the Holy Spirit moves throughout the whole situation when you see Scott’s letter next to Kirsten’s as the days go by. Prayers are being prayed and answered and it is all recorded in the daily wrap-up. It is a God story. It is a love story. And the letters are delivered daily. Make sure you

november 2nd – inside/out 2.0
by Kirst on October 8, 2009
Hi Sweetheart,
How are you doing today? I ask that question because I miss being able to sit down with you and have a leisurely talk. Every conversation and visit has a time constraint and thus an air of “rush” and “hurry.” I was thinking about this today and really wanting to spend some “time” with you. Just the two of us, sharing a cup of coffee, enjoying each other’s presence and growing closer as one. Talking about dreams or planning for our future, praying for our children or holding hands, the time together is what I crave. It is what I ache for. I can’t wait to be back in the company of my best friend. I love you, Kirst and anxiously await the start of the rest of our lives together. Hold tight, my love, I am coming home.
