Product Description
by Daniel Herman (Author)
What happens when a nineteen-year-old decides to skateboard across America on a longboard-with almost no money, no sleeping gear, and nothing but faith in God and the kindness of strangers?
Daniel Herman Jr. had what most people would call a crazy idea. And a few years later, he did it.
Alone.
What followed was a wild 3,200-mile cross-country journey that turned into a powerful Christian memoir of faith, perseverance, and unexpected provision:
- He spent two nights at the home of a satanist.
- A raven dropped him bread in the desert.
- He was nearly arrested for attending a church service.
- News stations, newspapers, and radio broadcasts shared his story.
- Hundreds of strangers signed the back of his longboard with Sharpies, leaving artwork and encouragement.
- And just 120 miles from the finish line, his longboard was stolen from a California coffee shop.
Would the journey end just 120 miles from the finish line? Would he ever see his board again?
Through deserts, mountains, and small towns across America, Daniel discovered that every mile carried a lesson. Every stranger carried a story. Every challenge revealed a deeper trust in God.
Love and Longboard is more than an adventure travel story. It is an inspirational true story about faith in uncertainty, radical hospitality, forgiveness, and saying yes to a calling that doesn't make logical sense.
Written with honesty, humor, and heart, this faith-filled biography invites readers to rethink what is possible when courage meets obedience.
If you've ever wondered what might happen if you truly stepped out in faith, this story will challenge you to take that first step.
