The worst of these times of challenge, pain, and sadness marked a fork in the road. As he contemplated what to do, a friend shared with him the joy and healing and strength that poured forth from the light of Jesus Christ. As his friend assured him, You are a Christian, you believe in Jesus, and as long as you have the light of Christ in you, you will never be alone

A Fork in the Road tells the authors story as a work of personal history, a reflection on an era, and a source of inspiration for others who find themselves standing before a fork in the road and wondering which path to take.
