In the world he writes about, Tim hitches his bike to a star. It doesn't matter whether his poem is about a hard ride or a solid ride, a great relationship or one that never works out, a strong upbeat spiritual connection or one that's a drawn-out struggle, Tim hangs with that star and delivers poems that refresh, invigorate, inspire, and put good things in the heart. It's impossible to go on a ride with Tim and not come away with more - more hope, stronger spirits, a better sense of humor, and a renewed connectivity with nature, God, and your soul.

Produktbeschreibung
In the world he writes about, Tim hitches his bike to a star. It doesn't matter whether his poem is about a hard ride or a solid ride, a great relationship or one that never works out, a strong upbeat spiritual connection or one that's a drawn-out struggle, Tim hangs with that star and delivers poems that refresh, invigorate, inspire, and put good things in the heart. It's impossible to go on a ride with Tim and not come away with more - more hope, stronger spirits, a better sense of humor, and a renewed connectivity with nature, God, and your soul. His writing is clear. It's easy to ride with. It's rich with creation. And it definitely hums with the music of the road. This book is, in a word, awesome. It's like having a great meal with terrific sides and a solid drink. You can have as much as you like of Tim's poetry at a sitting, and that will satisfy, or you can stay with his words a whole lot longer, and that will satisfy even more. The poems shine. Spend some time here and come away not only entertained, but with a new perspective on the way things are as well as the way things ought to be. Five stars. Murray Pura is an award-winning author. His books include A Gathering of Suns, Earth, The Sunflower Season, Zo, and Majestic and Wild.

Autorenporträt
Starting with no interest at all in bikes, enduring a neighbor's insistence to try his kid's Honda Trail 90, then being intrigued with the classic film Easy Rider, Tim Riter has grown to embrace motorcycles. He's totaled 270,000 miles riding, encompassing all 50 states, plus Washington, DC, Canada, and Mexico. The unity of rider, road, and bike has given him a unique perspective on God's creation, revealing glimpses of God in some unusual situations. Tim spent over 20 years as a pastor. His years in ministry, combined with equal time in education, from junior high to high school to university, and teaching science, communication, and composition, all contribute to his 30 years as an author. His writing spans Christian-living nonfiction, two motorcycle devotional books, and even a book of poetry, for a total of twelve books (with more on tap). A few of his poems are sprinkled in this book. In addition to pastoring, writing, and teaching, Tim has enjoyed a variety of other careers. He was a caretaker for an unused guest ranch in the mountains above Taos and worked in hotel management, in quality control at a company making parts for the space shuttle, as a real estate broker, and more. He and his wife, Sheila, live in the Old West town of Temecula in SoCal, where they love trips to the beaches and mountains and traveling all over the West.
