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

Hi Sweetheart,
It’s just after dinner on Saturday night. This weekend is really flying by. I can’t believe it is almost December. Christmas will be here before we know it. I hope that doesn’t add additional stress to your life, I’m confident God is going to provide for us. He is so faithful. I want you to be able to enjoy the season. I’ve always loved Christmas. The cooler climate, the classic Christmas movies, the hot drinks, and fires in the fireplace. Not to mention the family gatherings, with food galore. I love it! Oh, and did I forget to mention the best part? Snuggling with you under the covers on a cold, dark night. Ah, now that is heaven!
