Alex stormed off furiously in his pickup.

Seeing the emotional scars his alcoholic father had caused his brother and sister pushed him over the edge.

As a building contractor, Alex spent hours each week driving across the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area.

Time alone in his pickup was Alex’ refuge from tense situations.

Alex protested that he never enjoyed reading. He ran out of excuses when Becky gave him the audiobook!

As he began listening, he doubted the story of a missionary kid growing up in Africa would have any relevance to his embittered family. Over the next weeks, Alex’ pickup became a sacred place where he listened, prayed, and faced the horrific trauma of his past.

His courageous inner journey brought peace that spilled over into his extended family.
