Book Cover & Preview Text
Enter Harley. What or who was this new intruder into the "just the two of us" time? In all honesty, I was not very excited to hear and see this new direction my husband's affection was taking. I heard about Harley way before I saw him, and I wasn't impressed. I definitely didn't like the look he put in my husband's eye. So, me being me, a woman who lives with a script, I had a bad attitude the first day Harley roared into our lives. He entered with a half a dozen of my husband's smiling friends. The whole motley crew looked at me as if I should realize this is one of the best days...in the history of days...ever. My heart instantly turned against our new friend Harley.
I might have felt bad about my attitude if he had been a horse, but he was a machine. A shiny, candy apple red Harley motorcycle. The term iron horse was thrown around with the same machismo as "modern day cowboy." I think I was supposed to get misty eyed as I pictured Harley and my husband venturing across the great American West, much as our forefathers had, to see this great land of ours. Sounded noble, I guess. But I still wasn't getting it. When the excitement died down and all of the friends were gone, I was not at all happy to hear those inevitable words..."Jump on, let's go for a ride."
This may sound too dramatic, but I need to point out that those words changed my life.

About the Book
The Harley Chronicles emerged from the premise that all marriages need attention and care—even great marriages. It is written with the hope that women of all ages will take seriously what God intends and stop being distracted by cultural views of marriage. Each chapter is a different motorcycle trip experienced from the backseat of a Harley. The mixture of stories and lessons from the Word of God makes this a unique and fun ride.
Covering issues from communication to commitment, The Harley Chronicles seeks to give couples the language to talk about topics that need to be addressed before marriages hit the crisis stage. This Bible Study is designed to be used either alone or with one’s spouse or in a small group of friends. To get the most benefit, however, this study should be taken a step further by gathering a group of peers for discussions weekly.
All marriages need hope and joy, and this book seeks to serve up big doses of both. The overriding theme of keeping laughter alive in your marriage may just be the best medicine.
