What I do know from his story is that he missed an opportunity in that book to tell of some of the outcomes of the life change wrought by the editing of his own life experience. Many of those results we not yet realized. There may need to be another edition of this book written. Since that time he's been named by the Obama administration as the liason for addressing the fatherless children travesty and has started a mentoring program as a joint effort with World Vision that is worldwide in its reach. I think a trip across the United States on a bike was only the beggining of a life lived for a bigger purpose. As in good writing he has shown with his life (the character of the book) that this editing your life works and has indeed listened to the voice of God in a more than cursory way.
