Synopsis

Get lost... and find what really matters

You are made for freedom and adventure, friendship and romance. Yet too much of your life is spent unfulfilled at work, restless at home, and bored at church. All the while, you know there is something more. You’ll find some of life’s best moments waiting for you over a campfire, on a river — even in that coffee shop or brewery you didn’t know you’d discover along the way. It’s time to begin the search.

In the literary spirit of classic tales about America’s open road, this poetic, honest, often hilarious collection of essays shows how to embark on adventures that kindle spiritual reflection, personal growth, and deeper family connections.

From surfing California’s coastlines, to stargazing southwestern deserts, to fly-fishing in remote mountains of Montana, you’ll be inspired to follow Roger’s footsteps and use the hand-drawn maps from each chapter to plan your own trips. There you will hear God’s voice — and it may help you find what you’re searching for.

Goodreads review by Elizabeth

We Stood Upon Stars by Roger W. Thompson is all about finding God in lost places. The subtitle spoke to me immediately as that is often when I feel closest to God - out in His masterpiece of nature, feeling the sun upon me and hearing the birds sing.

Goodreads review by Amanda

This memoir takes you on a journey with the author through the American West as he tries to reconcile difficult life transitions with finding God in unexpected places. While honest, funny, and even poetic at times, this one fell a little flat for me. Some of the narrative felt disjointed and came ac......more
