285 Miles of Prayer: A Memoir of My Six-Day Bicycle Sabbath Tour
Through Southeast Georgia
(2020)
by Jeremy Cole
​
On the seventh day the Lord rested.
We need rest too.
We often get too caught up in the busyness of life that we forget to stop, rest, breathe and be still.
Sabbath rest looks different for each person. For me, I find sabbath rest from several miles on my bike.
That’s where the story before you was born.
I saw a need in my life for an extended sabbath and six days on my bike was just the right recipe.
Before you is a prayerful journal of my six-day bike sabbath journey.
May it be a blessing and encouragement to you.

By Jerry Morton.
Hello, this is Jerry Morton. The stories you are about to read are true.
They reflect many of the diverse sub-cultures within the United States I have experienced under the microscope of time. They provide peeks into the development of American culture from the mid 1940's to the present. They offer a reaffirmation of the sense of fairness that exists within all of us regardless of our backgrounds or current life situations.
These events and interactions include many different belief systems I encountered throughout my childhood and into my adult and senior years.
They offer glimpses into my quest to understand life's truths, including a search for explanations of the unexplainable.

(Coming in 2023)
By Sandra Spirnock
AWilliam boarded a train in Pittsburgh, PA. He hoped to meet a woman on his way to California.
Sandy boarded the same train in Canton, OH, 100 miles west of Pittsburgh.
The last thing on her mind was meeting a man.
Entering the terminal to begin a long layover in Chicago, William noticed Sandy.
The watching and waiting began as he wondered, “Is she also going to California?”
It was love at first sight.
Was that love strong enough to survive the 100 mile distance between their homes?
This heartwarming story shows that the ordinary, yet serendipitous moments are often the ones that bring the greatest joy and hold the most meaning in our lives.
