Through Painted Deserts


Just wanted to share a book that I recently finished reading: Through Painted Deserts: Light, God, and Beauty on the Open Road.  The book is about two guys around my age (23) who decide to go on a road trip in search of a deeper meaning for life.  Donald, the author, and friend Paul take off from Houston, TX headed for the Grand Canyon but then have no destination or plan beyond this.  After the GC the two traveled through different parts of California before settling in at a mountain camp in Oregon.  During their travels, the two friends meet all kinds of different people, learn to place their full trust in God, witness the fullness of all thet nature has to offer, and learn what true friendship is all about.  I personally really enjoyed the book because I love traveling and kind of took a two week adventure like this two summers ago.  This book struck a chord with me because a road trip like this, with no set plans or destination, is something that I would love to do anytime time and money allowed it.  I would recommend the book to anyone who enjoys getting into the car and traveling.
