Are you someone who believes that something better exists than the mundane life you’ve been living? Well, Don and Paul did. They set off on a road trip, traveling from Texas to Oregon in a VW van. Their encounters with nature and people lead to such things as miracles, rewards, kindness and unexpected lessons about themselves and God. Read this with a group of high schoolers or older and have great discussions on topics like friendship, the reason for suffering and pain, how your life — your story — is continually changing, and the elements that God has established through those changes. This book is a completely revised version of Miller’s first book, Prayer and the Art of Volkswagen Maintenance.
