About this audiobook
Get lost... and find what really matters
You are made for freedom and adventure, friendship and romance. Yet too much of your life is spent unfulfilled at work, restless at home, and bored at church. All the while, you know there is something more. You'll find some of life's best moments waiting for you over a campfire, on a river - even in that coffee shop or brewery you didn't know you'd discover along the way. It's time to begin the search.
In the literary spirit of classic tales about America's open road, this poetic, honest, often hilarious collection of essays shows how to embark on adventures that kindle spiritual reflection, personal growth, and deeper family connections.
From surfing California's coastlines, to stargazing southwestern deserts, to fly-fishing in remote mountains of Montana, you'll be inspired to follow Roger's footsteps and use the hand-drawn maps from each chapter to plan your own trips. There you will hear God's voice - and it may help you find what you're searching for.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Funny, moving, inspiring loved every minute of this great book
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I am a big fan of outdoor travel books. And WOW. From the very first page of this book. I felt special. Like the hand drawn maps were included just for me. What a nice touch. I truly am a lover of the documentary type style. And, while this story is an inventive retelling of exploration throughout many well known parks, and some lovely out of the way vistas, I did not expect it to be so funny. But life is often more complicated than simple. The whole section on the canopy of cottonwoods and the photos in Grandpa's garage, was so beautifully written, it made me cry for about two chapters.As the author states, this well detailed book, reads like, 'a map of a man's heart'. I reviewed for Blogging for Books.
