Synopsis

The Ride of Your Life embraces a highly visual, kinetic, and common image-- of a front wheel of a bicycle as a tool, the "front-wheel" concept.  The concept helps readers come to understand the spiritual journey to give a beautiful and joyful ride no matter what has happened in your life.  Building upon a life-changing personal event, Tina brings the details of riding a bike into conversation with the discipline of becoming more faithful on her ride by growing her relationship with God.  Here is an example

The seventh spoke of the wheel is about teaching; be willing to share and teach others about your life lesson and the love of the Lord. Before you reach this spoke, you must first understand and embrace the first six. You must make sure your belief system is well developed, understand the significance and signs of your life lesson, accept the situation and choose how you are going to live with this situation, forgive yourself and others, and have gratitude and gracitude.  But your wheel is not finished until you are able use it to move forward, and you must move forward in the same way Jesus did. Jesus is directly called "teacher" throughout the Bible. As we will all go through bumps, potholes and wrong turns, it is of the utmost importance we learn to help and teach each others.  God gave us many teachers in the Bible and, if you ask, he will give you the words to teach others through the Holy Spirit.   I first began teaching the concept of the front wheel to a young group of people.  I prayed to be the teacher that God wanted me to be and to give me the words through the Holy Spirit.  When we teach others it turns our sorrows into joy.

About this title

From the Author

"When life challenges come, we often don't know where to turn, I was fortunate that I had faith in my life. I also believe when struggles come our way I know that prayer gets us closer to God and when we open our heart to God, the miracles of forgiveness and healing appear.  God did exactly this when I started writing this book.  He led me to all seven spokes of the "front-wheel" model.  It helped me and I pray that it will help you on your journey."  Tina Elliott Boyd
