About This Book
How far would you go to pursue truth? For a boy raised in the Jehovah's Witness religion, truth is taken for granted. But as adolescence sets in, the desire for more in life impels him to seek answers to his questions outside the four walls of the local Kingdom Hall. Tortured by his past and his uncertainty about the present, he wanders far afield and ultimately into a booze-soaked despair that he is unable to free himself from. But in that powerlessness God seeks him, and, in the process of giving him a new lease on life, lights the pathways of truth once more. With this newfound faith, the boy (now a man) journeys forth to places as diverse as Marine Corps bootcamp and Catholic seminary, all the while navigating the minefield of ideologies and competing belief systems that litter our postmodern society. He loses and gains family, and trades his place on the Watchtower for a spot underneath the Cross.
