Synopsis

Jeremy Kroeker is a Mennonite with a motorcycle. When his seemingly unflinching faith in a Christian world view begins to shift, he hops on his bike to seek answers. After shipping his ride to Europe, Kroeker discovers that the machine now wobbles worse than his own opinions about spirituality. Still, he carries on, through Germany, Austria, Croatia, Albania, and into the Middle East: Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, and ultimately the theocratic nation of Iran.It is there that Kroeker takes a forbidden visit to a holy Muslim shrine. Once he is inside, invisible hands rip from his heart a sincere prayer, his first in many years. And God hears that prayer. For before Kroeker can escape Iran, God steals into his hotel room one night to threaten him with death. At least, that's one way to look at it.

Goodreads review by Gordon on October 04, 2013

It's about the journey, not the destination. Sometimes, you've got to take a chance and live it. Jeremy's travel through the middle east sees him attempting to reconcile this idea, while still heavily focused on going to Iran. From Sept 2007 to Jan 2008, we get to accompany him as he rides through T......more

This is a wonderful travel memoir of a man from Alberta Canada who ship himself and his motorcycle to Europe with his main goal of riding through Iran. Jeremy Kroeker has already traveled across Central America as chronicled in his first book Motorcycle Therapy. This time, he's headed to the Middle......more
