Paul Lombard has regrets in spades as he retreats to sit on second base at the ball field, thinking about the life he might be living had he chosen baseball over religion, over God.\n\nPaul is used up. He feels his congregation needs too much of his attention and knows he's not giving his family enough. Amid this midlife angst and mental chaos, he finds his mind wandering down a dangerous path until he stumbles upon actual trouble, the red-haired woman he thought lived only in his fantasies. Dissatisfaction and discontent lurk everywhere for Paul, and these feelings spill over into his job, his marriage, and his relationship with his teenage son. Close to losing everything he truly cares about, it takes a near-catastrophic event for Paul to find his way forward, proving that even at one's darkest hour, there's still a path back toward the light.\n\n\u003ci\u003eOn Second Base\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of regret, suffering, introspection, and the path to redemption. Paul discovers that if he's going to make a change, it's going to have to come from within. As he searches for someone to confide in, he realises that his wife and close friends have their own issues to deal with. It's not that they don't care, but no one can force him to take a first step. It becomes apparent to Paul and his support system that forgiveness is key, and as he thinks back on life and his regrets, he sees the importance of self-forgiveness. \n\nJoin Paul on a journey that results in deep reflection, self-improvement, and the discovery of an equation for a better life.\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46713618628844,"sku":"9781667841960","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/22637613482781.jpg?v=1754330401"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/kathy-johncox.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
