        On just about every page of the book, you'll find some simple truth that relates back to a biblical passage. We encourage you to print off these 22 verses below and, page by page, see how they correlate to the discoveries made by the bike rider in the book.

        You may want to spend some time with the book and the Bible in quiet devotion making your own discoveries. Parents, pastors, small group leaders, youth pastors, AA counselors, retreat leaders, and children's church directors, we're hoping you consider this unique Bible study worth sharing with the people you care about most.

        After your own personal reflection or group study, let us know if any other scripture portions come to mind, and we'll add them to the list.
