Almost everyone in our society drives and everyone knows about the frustrations of driving. These can include heavy traffic, aggressive drivers, mindless drivers, mechanical problems, tickets, crashes, injuries and even death. Our reactions can range from mild frustration to road rage. Many of us are familiar with the personality change that some experience. The most mild mannered person can become a screaming, swearing, lunatic behind the wheel. But driving can also be an opportunity for self-improvement and spiritual practice. This book explores how we can use driving as a means of developing ourselves spiritually. In particular it addresses issues such as anger, road rage, courtesy, compassion, and other areas that relate directly to our personal spiritual development. It can be used as an individual devotional or self-help guide or it can be used in groups or classes. The author is a psychologist and therapist who has extensive experience in ministry as well -- including as a military chaplain.
