Description:The content in this short e-book is excerpted from "The Road Trip that Changed the World," by Mark Sayers. The book examines the influence of Jack Kerouac on Western Culture and the Church from a Christian perspective.
We live in a culture of the road-restless for adventure, glorifying experience, seeing life as a journey.
Jack Kerouac was one of America's original proponents of the culture of the road, documenting his famous road trip across America in his classic work, "On the Road. " ("On the Road," the movie, is set to release winter 2012.)""
In this twenty minute read, Australian cultural commentator Mark Sayers examines how Kerouac's influence has shaped Western traditions, our cultural identity, and the church. By analyzing our culture of the road and its influence on us, Sayers leads us to understanding what it means to have a true sense of home.
