FINDING A NEW LIFE TO CHANGE OUR WORLD is about an adventure that the author goes on to discover the many experiences of new places and new faces, which completely changed his life. He decided to join the Marine Corps. How he would get there was in the most unusual way, by riding a 10-speed bicycle 1500 miles from Tulsa, Oklahoma, to San Diego, California, in the depth of a terrifying winter. The stage was set in a surprising way on an early Monday morning when a snowstorm hit as he plunged himself out of the garage door. A determined start proved that he was not going to let anything hold him back. Sacrificing a great family, good job, and a beautiful sweetheart, he left it all behind. This book is the expedition of a lifetime, taking Route 66, the Mother Road of America, which unfolds into unpredictable twists and turns, encountering the challenges of just trying to survive the freezing blizzard conditions. Making contact with unknown people for vital needs throughout the journey became an essential lifeline, along with his sheer willpower. During the trip, numerous new sightings triggered flashbacks to earlier life experiences that the author was coming from as he rode into a new realm of life. The later chapters contain brief real-life experiences that were some of the more exciting times to share. Life in the Marine Corps, motorcycling, going to college, snow skiing, and softball. Everything in the book and the author's life comes to a climax in the last chapter, finding a new life as he also finds new life in God.
