80 Miles

80 Miles

Love, lust and Jesus! says John, that’s what we are talking about. In this absorbing, heartfelt novel, Craig Bowler takes us inside the mind and heart of a teenaged boy as he searches for meaning; for belonging; for connection. More than a simple coming-to-faith journey, 80 Miles leans into the angst and anxieties of a typical teen - in this case, a church kid who seeks to find his way toward Jesus even as so much of his past - and his present - send him in other directions. It’s a story of unbreakable friendships - and a God who will not let go. John is joined by Laney, Pastor Wes, and a cast of characters; all with their paths; all asking the same question: how do we get there from here? 80 Miles takes us along for the ride - and along the way, we discover, along with John, that Jesus was never far away.
