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.
