When your plans unravel it may be God who is pulling the strings...
From Midwest Review:
A compulsive page-turner of a read from cover to cover, "Rough Way to the High Way" is an extraordinary novel -- one that will linger in the mind and memory long after the book has been finished and set back upon the shelf..
Brief Synopsis:
After an unbearable tragedy strikes his life as a pastor, Mack sells everything he owns and buys a new Peterbilt truck, returning to the trade he learned decades earlier.
He seeks to run away from it all, going as far as to cut off communication with all but a handful of people. But he is pursued by God, who will not let him go. Unbeknownst to Mack, God is equipping His servant with tools to handle events his past education and experience could never have prepared him for.
The story unfolds as a hitchhiker enters Mack’s Peterbilt. The man reminds Mack of his father, a hard living, hard drinking oilfield roughneck who died in prison. God begins to do work in Mack’s heart while Mack seeks to minister to his new passenger. But Mack soon rues the day he let the hitchhiker into his truck.
