Restoration. Reversal. Reconciliation. For Coach Barry Jones, these concepts seemed unachievable.

Flagrant Foul chronicles Barry's battle to overcome a troubled childhood in able to become the man he felt God calling him to be. This inspiring memoir proves that restoration, reversal, and reconciliation are possible through God's grace. Join Barry on his journey as he finds that God's grace is sufficient to overcome even the most flagrant fouls a person can commit.
