The Pickoff is a baseball metaphor that exposes how the enemy of God uses a variety of tactics to impede the Christian’s progress on the bases. In an age of spiritual lethargy when too many Christians are caught napping between first and second base, it’s imperative that we “stand firm against the schemes of the devil” so that we may arrive home safely.
While the pickoff move is becoming a lost art in the world of baseball, it remains a primary weapon in the enemy’s arsenal. After Christians are awarded first base, Satan will immediately look to pick them off, sending them back to the dugout in shame. If he can’t do that, he’ll settle for the stationary Christian who seems content on just standing “safely” as first base. But our Lord will have none of this. He exposes the enemy’s devices and provides the perfect coaching to help us round the bases in joy.
This book will change how readers view both baseball and the Christian life. Whether a rookie believer or a seasoned veteran, readers will find fresh insights for staying spiritually alert.

Industry Reviews

“Baseball and theology are a match made in heaven, but rarely have they been brought together with such pastoral wisdom and prophetic insight. Scott Womble has hit a spiritual grand slam, as his baseball metaphor brilliantly illuminates both the tactics of the enemy and the path to victory in Christ. Womble reminds us that Christianity isn’t a spectator sport—it’s about getting in the game and running the bases with passionate abandon. A must-read for anyone who wants to avoid being picked off by the enemy and score for the kingdom.”
—Leonard Sweet, professor, Drew University, George Fox University, and Northwind Seminary

“Scott Womble provides a very practical guide for the reflective Christian to navigate the complexities of following Jesus in our day. The Pickoff draws from the engaging world of baseball for the perfect bridge that connects Scripture to everyday life.”
—Don Sanders, leadership development pastor, Harvester Christian Church, Missouri
