Faith On Two Wheels

A devotional that is written with motorcyclists in mind, but applicable to everyone. The motorcycle community has often been vilified over the years, but is truly made up of some of the most incredible people, personalities, and generous hearts that anyone could encounter. Unfortunately, many motorcyclists have said that they do not feel welcome in many churches because they "don't fit in." This has led to themed churches, just for bikers, and this only creates further division. This book is the product of a desire to fulfill the Great Commission and to reach an often neglected group so that they can hear the Gospel from someone they can, hopefully, relate to in some way. More than that, this book is for people who just have a desire to add something new to their devotional time.

"South Away is an adventure story of the author's bicycle trip with her sister from Terrace, BC along the West coast to (almost) the tip of the Baja Peninsula. Meaghan Marie Hackinen experiences apprehension and determination as she camps in the dense forests of northern Vancouver Island and in frigid Mexican deserts; encounters strange men, suicidal highways and monster trucks; strong winds and violent storms; flat ties and broken spokes. Her couch-surfacing adventures provide an insight into the "kindness of strangers" en route. Accompanying the travel memoir is an inner journey, related through flashbacks and memories, as the author begins to better understand her relationship with her parents, grandmother, and sister. In attempting to balance risk with safety, she arrives at a minimalist philosophy of living, which requires "physical stamina and mental ingenuity." The style is engaging and personable; the images of landscape and seascape are imaginative and memorable. South Away is a rare roadtrip story--with a female lead and a female companion, a Canadian Hobbit tale of adventure and miraculous events."--

DQ and Beth Roberts found themselves in the very position they swore never to be in, back in the biker world. But this time, it was all for Jesus. DQ was 40 years old when he finally gave himself to God. Beth, 13 years younger, was 27, and all they knew was being hardcore bikers. This lifestyle had taken them through a hell filled with alcohol, drugs, and violence. To save their marriage, they turned to Jesus, but had no clue of the journey He had planned for them, a journey that would take them back to the very places that had been part of their downfall. It was an opportunity to redeem through Jesus the many friend who were still lost and without hope. It would be a journey fraught with pain, trials, and hardships. They would either come out victorious for God or they would lose everything, including what they valued most, each other.

Steve Morreale always believed in God. As a small boy, he would look up at the clouds in the sky and try to catch a glimpse of God looking down on him. After all, wasn't God watching over us? Lacking any in-depth understanding of the Bible, his faith remained simple and vulnerable to the nonbelieving, scientifically educated individuals he encountered. Steve's vulnerability reached a peak when he began studying geology in college. The real facts of science--not the unproven theories--conspired to eliminate God from Steve's life equation. Well-meaning Christians required a Young Earth Creationist view that flew in the face of facts. Those small elements of truth could not be ignored; they could be seen, touched, and calculated. Faith could not erase them. Eventually, Steve turned to the God of his childhood, and began to read the Bible. It's message of hope touched him. Could that hope and the facts of geology be reconciled? Genesis and Geology: For People of Faith and People of Fact walks through the six days of Creation. That walk describes what God created, and geology explains how He created it.

My doctor with that somewhat soft voice and that ‘I hate this part of my job attitude’ says to me “I’m so sorry Eula, but you are paralyzed and will have to be in a wheelchair the rest of your life.” How does a young woman in her middle twenties react to this type of news? It was now time for me to draw on everything that I had been taught or had caught concerning faith in God. Will I accept the wheelchair or will the POWER OF MY FAITH cause me to defy it and walk away! Which will it be? Have you ever wondered; what is faith? Will it work? Does it work? How do you get it? I have heard about it; but how can I really achieve it? As you read this book it is my prayer that your faith will be increased and you will never doubt whether it works again. It is not what others believe but what do you believe? Because it really is THE POWER OF YOUR FAITH!
