A weathered old truck and a question worth asking about every mile we've driven and everywhere it's led us. Roy Hutcherson's heartfelt look at redemption, restoration, heritage and preservation.
On the cover of this book, a hand lifts an old, ornate mirror toward a worn green pickup — and asks a question that sounds simple until you sit with it: is my truck going to heaven? Of course not. But everything that truck represents — hard work, heritage, and life's destiny — that's the real question Roy Hutcherson is asking.
"It was never really about the truck."
Drawing on a lifetime spent across more than fifteen industries, Roy writes the way he talks — plainly, warmly, and without pretense — about what it means to chase God's will instead of just the next mile marker. Each chapter pairs an everyday image from working life with a deeper truth about grace, purpose, and the hope that outlasts anything with an odometer.
This isn't a book about trucks. It's a book about what we're really driving toward.
"This book has helped me think more deeply about what I believe and why. I appreciated how each chapter was short and focused, which made it easy to stay consistent. I also like how it explains the parallels of a Christian's life with that of a truck in a logical and relatable way, causing me to pause and really reflect on my own life. It's a true story of anticipation, loss, redemption, restoration, and purpose. It helped me reflect on my purpose and reminded me to center my life around God instead of distractions. I recommend it to anyone searching for direction and wants to better understand their faith on a deeper level."

"Transport yourself back to a simpler time with Pawpaw and others as you dig deep to affirm or contemplate your relationship with Christ. Along the journey, reflect upon your own connections with family and the legacy you will leave. Life is precious and through his book, Roy reminds us that big or little, God is in the details. So sit back, roll the windows of time down and cruise down a road of reflection as you survey all that God can use in your life to show you His deep, unending love."

"Within the pages of this book lies a story only God could write; a story that proclaims how the Lord Himself works through the very details of every man's life. I remember the very place and setting as Brother Roy began to share how God not only revealed to him His hand, but then commissioned him to put it down on paper. I pray that these real life events will encourage and stir within you the truth of God's amazing grace and love toward mankind like it has mine. Today, through the precious blood of Jesus Christ, you too can experience what is proclaimed upon these pages."
