Adam Wainwright endured an up-and-down season in 2005. He made his major-league debut that September, but a month later was left off the Cardinals postseason roster. Frustrated while sitting at home during the playoffs, Adam cried out to God for the first time. That night, he vowed to put God at the center of everything in his life. What followed was a joy that can only be found in accepting Jesus Christ.
