If you are a fan of route 66 and of life then this book is a must read. Chuck and Ann Williams have done a beautiful job of tying information about Route 66 - "The Mother Road" and the 66 books of the Bible - "The Father Road" together. The book describes a 22 day trip across Route 66 with all of the stops that Chuck and Ann made. Along the way they add various passages from the Bible - at least one from every book of the Bible(all 66)and tie them in with their trip in a wonderful way. I really enjoyed this book both as a travel log and as a source of inspiration. As I read I felt that I was along for the ride with Chuck and Ann and my faith was strengthed in Jesus, my Lord and Savior as well. It doesn't get much better than that.

This book is a great read for anyone that love an American travel journal and the sights and the people of the "Mother Road". Having travel the old road myself, reading Chuck Williams account of his and his wife Ann journey was very real and brought back the memories I have. Connecting their travel of Route 66 with the 66 books of Gods word, the Bible, really made the book come to life, eternal life that is. Our lives get so fast these day's and the old roads around us can slow the pace. Reading and getting into His word does the same thing, slows us down to see the life that He has created for each one of us. Chuck truly brings this out in this amazing study of bringing the two routes together. But I caution you with one thing, along with the Eternal Route 66 book, you must have a Bible close at hand to complete the journey. A reference guide when traveling is a good thing to have.

Chuck Williams does a great job of sharing Rt. 66 trivia for enthusiasts like me. I thought the tie in with the Bible might be contrived or hokey, but it wasn't. It flowed very well. The book offers great insight info on both topics - Rt. 66 and the Bible.
