Meeting God in the breakdown lane: Stories from the journey

In times of chaos & troubles – spiritual beacons still illuminate & guide us through the darkness of our confused souls. This is a collection of uplifting stories & encounters of one man who found these beacons in the people he met while WALKING 7,000 miles – HITCHHIKING 55,000 miles – on a journey in which he spoke at over 700 New England churches & colleges. When generic spiritual answers are too often prescribed by people telling others what they MUST or SHOULD believe, here is a voice calling people to clarity by making decisions out of THEIR OWN faith understandings. MEETING GOD IN THE BREAKDOWN LANE touches the soul with a generosity of spirit, love, & good humor. It also challenges some of our society’s assumptions & judgements – not by shrill indictment – but through the writer’s examination of his own biases & prejudices as confronted (almost always gently) by the God & Christ in other people. Anderson reinforces what we, on our deepest level, already the BREAKDOWN LANE awaits us as we are always living our lives at 72 mph in the passing lane. We desperately need some slow down time to hear the still small voice of the Creator – Our God.
