The author writes from Dalworthington Gardens, Texas where he makes his home with his wife Gail. Watch for them and say “Hi” at the Supercross and Motocross races or when you pass them up on the trail.

He has enjoyed the thrill and freedom of riding dirt bikes from an early age and will probably never grow out of it.

Foreword
Here is a unique book you never thought you would see. You have probably never read a book like this, could never find anything close to it in the Library of Congress and may chuckle under your breath at the very thought of such a combination. God and Motocross. If you have this book, you are probably not typical. You probably have riding gear
hanging in your garage, have a favorite brand of goggles and know what it means to jump a double.
You may even be convinced that Braaaap
is a proper English word.
You may have been given a copy of this book by a friend who is also an off-road motorcycle rider who has read it and thinks you will find some wisdom in the object lessons it sets forth. You may have been given a copy by a parent or other person who cares about you and has tried to convince you that you should read it. Ugh, read? No way, I just wanna ride!
This book has found its way to you for a reason.
It makes sense that we relate to things we are familiar with and that we deal with in everyday life. We may not relate to ethereal information that is just theory and that we don’t have a point of reference with which to compare. If I were to illustrate a point by comparing something to an accounting process or tax regulation, it may not make sense to you. For instance, if I told you that God’s love is like the fairness found in capitalized deferred revenue recognition
you would probably say, Huh?
But you would probably totally soak up similarities between any other subject and Dirt Biking.
The greatest Teacher of all time, Jesus, used this method. He had a very important message to get across to the world in just a few short years and needed to make use of the best teaching methods. It seems that the established hierarchy of religious leaders had the kingdom of God
all wrong. They were teaching a self-centered religion the focus of which was to meticulously act out obedience to rules even if you only pretended to follow the rules to show others how good you were.
In order to show what the true kingdom of God was like, Jesus used object lessons from things the people were familiar with and could relate to. He talked about soil that the farmer worked with everyday. He talked about fish and nets and storms that the fishermen could relate to. He referred to the kingdom of God as being like a child, or like a pearl or like the wind. Things they were familiar with. He illustrated the powerful truths of what the kingdom of God was really all about by telling a story about a lost lamb that couldn’t find its way back to the safety of the pasture, and so, the shepherd went out into the cold, dark, dangerous night seeking the lost lamb to carry it home to safety. Most all of the listeners could relate to that imagery because they had sheep of their own and knew how sheep strayed away. They clearly got the message that God was seeking to protect and reunite with people. From the day they heard that illustration, each time they went out to find a stray lamb they would be reminded of the lesson in the story. God seeks to bring us home.
These illustrations which Jesus gave we call Parables. It was His way of putting the truths He wanted to teach into terms they would understand and remember. In this way He made what He
