Gravel roads are, for the most part, not as smooth as paved roadways. You may experience a rougher ride, a dirtier ride ... a slower ride. In many ways, these roads are emblematic of John F. Newsome’s life, which has not always been the smoothest ride. He’s navigated plenty of twists and turns, bumps, potholes, and slowdowns. Even so, the road remains in front of him, and over the last few years, he’s discovered God is always there as well. In this book, he looks back at the pain, loss, grief, and challenges of life – and he shares lessons he’s learned along the way. An index at the back of the book easily pinpoints stories based on topics, such as dreaming, gratitude, hope, kindness, prayer, and more. Laced with humorous and insightful stories from his childhood, the author invites readers to dream along with him and discover the healing that is possible through God’s endless love and grace.
