Salvage

by Curt Craighead

Back on his motorcycle for the first time since his wife’s passing, Dr. Tom Welton finally feels he is beginning to heal from the grief. His early morning ride is restoring his sense of self. But when he loses traction on the wet asphalt and slides off the road’s curve into the dense woods of the east Texas Big Thicket, he comes face to face with his life-long spiritual deception. Trapped under the wreckage of his motorcycle, he believes his salvation lies in being found before it’s too late. But too late for what?

As his family mounts a search for their missing elderly father, Tom takes a journey through his life while lying on the forest floor. In his fever-seared state, he is visited by loved ones and a few strangers, each who have a message to impart. He comes to understand “too late” has an altogether different meaning as his true spiritual state becomes apparent. Will he be found in time?

This book is fantastic. Smart, poignant, and illustrates the need in people to believe in something bigger than themselves. While a great read for Christians, it is more suitable to readers who don't believe, because it is pretty dang convincing. If you don't believe but have the courage to be challenged, read it.

Loved Tom and other characters that come to him for comfort. Loved to distraction the gorgeous descriptions of coastal Texas. Touched by the faith expressed and the stops along the journey to find Christ's presence. Beautiful poetic-like prose.
