Dallas is a new Christian who has had a rough life. He has a prison record, several homemade tattoos and has a history with hard drugs. Ted is a 30 something man who has been in church all his life. Ted does what the church worldwide should be doing. He disciples this young man and develops an unlikely friendship while restoring an old car.

I only have a few criticisms of the book. Like someone else stated there are too many bookmarks which is a tiny bit distracting. Also, the author went off on a rabbit trail a couple of time. He devoted on whole page to the reason he loved the move "The Fighter". He spent too much time enumerating the six reasons he liked that movie. Also the book is a little too short. I think a little more time should have elapsed between the time he mentored Dallas to the time he wrote the book. I would love to know how Dallas was doing like five years after going to the fundie college. Was he able to maintain his Christian lifestyle? Did he meet the good Christian woman that would be his life mate? With a little tweaking I could easily see this book as a five star book.
