“‘He put in the time, won my heart, and earned the right to speak.’ Highway 11 is a gentle reminder that the most important part of being a father is being present. If you want your kids to come around when you are old, read this book.”
—Thomas Clark, facility director, Good Shepherd Community Church
“There are so many books out there that attempt to offer parenting advice. This is different—there’s no advice on offer, instead the reader is gifted gold nuggets of wisdom wrapped up in a big bow. As a mum of two boys, I lapped it up!”
—Kate Newman, lead pastor, Edinburgh Vineyard
“I’ve known B. J. Condrey for over a decade, initially calling him pastor while he called me friend, but through shared life experiences, he became more like a brother. His book, Highway 11, is a legacy filled with stories of his dad instilling godliness, confidence, and character in him. Reading it inspired me to document my own experiences with my dad and strive to be an emotionally available parent. This impactful book is worth revisiting yearly.”
—Chris Callahan, director of relationship management, Kingdom ROI
