The Big Idea

Two Roads. One Journey.

Chuck Williams links a full Route 66 journey from Chicago to Santa Monica with a devotional journey through the 66 books of the Bible. The result is not a travel guide. It is a story of roadbeds, cafés, motels, ghost towns, family, faith, and the pace of a life worth noticing.

Two roads have had a profound influence on my life… the road that leads through the 66 books that make up the Bible… and the old highway, known as U.S. Route 66.

— Chuck Williams

Historic Road

Chicago, Lou Mitchell’s, Pontiac, Rolla, Shamrock, Amarillo, Winslow, Santa Monica, and the people who keep the old road alive.

Eternal Road

Genesis to Revelation as mile markers for purpose, choice, grace, perseverance, community, and home.

Community

Built around the Facebook community: stories, photos, memories, encouragement, and road-loving fellowship.

Speaking
