Synopsis "Pedal 'n Ponder: A Christian Devotional for Cyclists"
As a kid, John Custer watched westerns, so when he got his first bike, it was his 'horse'. He rode it everywhere. As the years clicked by, his 'horse' got set aside. After college, he started his own funeral home and ambulance business. When he retired, he took an old bike, made it rideable, and rode it to the top of a nearby hill. That ride rekindled his desire to ride. He set it aside again for a couple of years while he and his wife, Marlene, did volunteer work in Thailand, China, and The Philippines. Most of his riding has been around Ohio, with tours, small groups, and solos. On one vacation he and Marlene cycled Nova Scotia. During his retirement, his relationship with Jesus Christ has continued to grow. In Pedal 'n Ponder he merges his two passions in an earthy fashion. The idea of writing this devotional came while planning to ride from the Mississippi River to the Atlantic Ocean. This devotional is targeted for those who have cycling on the front burner and a relationship with Jesus on the back burner---if it is on any burner at all. The readers will be challenged to consider who Jesus is and what He said.
