I enjoyed this book on so many levels. First I am a huge Third Day fan and have been for years. To read about not only how the band started, but about the life of Mark Lee was truly an honor and an incredible testimony. I live not very far from the intersection where Mark had his accident and drive down Hurt Road everyday. It was so surreal to read about someone whose given the world a beautiful way to worship God through his music, and realize he lives right around the corner from me. His story reads just like you are having a conversation with him over coffee. In a way we all have our own personal hurt road and Mark does an excellent job of showing how your faith and God will always be your GPS to guide and navigate you. I had the privilege of meeting Mark Lee and he autographed my book, but also my son's guitar. My son is five and learning how to play the guitar and finding his own spiritual voice. I was humbled to see how genuine Mark was with my son. His story, his character and his testimony made me respect him even more.
"Telling my story again for these kids reminded me of a lot of things. It reminded me that living life to the fullest as Jesus talked about is both the easiest and the hardest thing we can ever do. It is also the most important."
Thank you for that reminder. This is a great story.

Hurt Road is a memoir from lead guitarist of the Christian band Third Day. The story begins with a life altering event that began on Hurt road in Georgia. The memoir is very readable and was a very quick read. Mark recalls his life and the journey he has lived until the present day. He leads the reader through his life and through his writing he reveals a glimpse of his journey with Christ. Mark starting with the Hurt road incident reflects how his life (and challenges the reader to reflect) doesn't always follow his/our life plans. God has often allows events that alter our plans and can make them bigger than we could ever imagine.
Any fan of the band, Third Day, will appreciate this memoir. Those readers who have lived anytime in Georgia, will appreciate his description of Marietta. Teens will appreciate the first few chapters and will relate to Mark's high school years. Mark writes with such introspection that readers will relate to wondering where their plans might line up with God's or where God has different plans as long as you are ready to take the next step in faith. Highly recommend this book to any reader who likes memoirs and those who enjoy reading inspirational books.
