Floating between the United States, the UK, Japan, and Australia, he makes the regular holy, which is most tragic when we find that our Christian worlds have often made God familiar. Sayers presents us with a compelling analysis that for some may prove to be the beginning of coming to know the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ. For others, the book may be a refining word from God that shows up just how temporal a road trip mindset is.</p><p><b>Eternity Newspaper, September 2012</b></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>MARK SAYERS</b> is the Senior Pastor of Red Church in Melbourne, Australia.
