I met Emily at a mutual friend's high school house party and we fell in love right away. We got married young and enjoyed the blissful life. We travelled, bought our first home, started a business and even bought investment properties together. I had well & truly started to tick off the list most guys have planned out for their future. But after just 5 years, I brought our marriage to ruins and faced overcoming depression and addiction. Following this, my business collapsed leaving us in a financial crisis. Cancer hit our family hard, and through all this, we faced a never-ending struggle to conceive a first child. What I thought I knew about God, I really hadn't a clue. I grew up in a Christian home, went to a Christian school, had Christian friends, and thought I knew God. Yet through some of the darkest years of my life I experienced personally a God who is close, kind and above all faithful. It was my Jubilee Road.

A willful New York debutante travels the rugged Great Plains for a future in the flourishing American West in this New York Times bestseller. Charting the trail across the Great Plains from New York City to the Mexican territory of California, a headstrong couple embarks on a new life in this classic work of historical fiction as unforgiving, moving, and unpredictable as the frontier. A recent finishing school graduate, eighteen-year-old Garnet Cameron is desperate for direction. Too driven for the restrictive manners of the upper class, Garnet is naturally drawn to Oliver Hale, a frontier trader. Unlike the men Garnet is accustomed to, Oliver treats her as his equal and respects her independence. His tales of adventure on the plains thrill her. And his proposal of marriage is accepted. Garnet eagerly grabs hold of the promise and prospect of an exciting future, only to discover how ill-prepared she is for the punishing landscape of the Jubilee Trail and the even harsher realities of human nature. Adapted into a feature film, Jubilee Trail is a classic novel of a woman in the West, beloved not only for the rebelliousness and resilience of its heroine, but for its authenticity, grand sweep, unsparing intimacy, and honest portrayal of the survivors and victims—as well as the victors and villains—of a defiant American wilderness.

From an innocuous encounter in an airplane, to discourses of the enrichment of the only philosophy his own father handed down to him, through issues of concern for dereliction of education, to building a wholesome and homogeneous community. He highlights issues through his own journey through life and the numerous recordation of those he had made and shared in a span of close to two decades, blending fun and earnest graveness without being preachy or sanctimonious. Drawing from the Desiderata and his favorite prayer, Good Morning God, he uses an engaging discourse form to deliver the message that our stories, individually and collectively, written or unwritten, is the culminant of the worlds story. In this book, he shows that inspiration is not farfetched and that from effecting liveability in our immediate surrounding we can shape our story to effect points of contact and communication that will eventually give the world story, the great Story, ..a chance to develop.
