Destination–The Winner's Circle
Written by: Brad Henry Bridge-Logos Publishers, Brad Henry, author of Destination –The Winner's Circle, and NASCAR driver Jamie McMurray have joined together to raise money and awareness of autism. Brad Henry and Jamie McMurray have at least two things in common—each have an autistic family member and each are involved with NASCAR. Jamie's niece and Brad's eight-year-old son, Chase, are autistic. That's why a portion of the proceeds from the sale of each book is being donated to the Jamie McMurray Foundation.The purpose of the Jamie McMurray Foundation (JMF) is to promote awareness of autism and raise funding for research, education, and support for individuals and families affected by autism. Because of Jamie's involvement as a race car driver in NASCAR, JMF will focus much of its activities on promoting a better understanding of autism in the NASCAR community, and will seek the financial backing and support of that community, including NASCAR fans who purchase Destination-The Winner's Circle. The death of a parent, financial problems, a difficult divorce, or a child born with physical or mental challenges are only some of the traumatic experiences that millions of people face everyday. And when they seem to come fast and furious, many begin to question their lives. "What true purpose do I have in this world? Why am I and my loved ones suffering?" "What does all this mean?" Brad Henry experienced a multitude of devastating events, one after the other, that made him question the meaning and purpose of his life. "I was desperate and didn't know what I needed. I tried everything under the sun to make me happy but all seemed lost. One lonely evening in my apartment, I was channel-surfing and stopped on what I thought was the comedy channel. There was a man speaking who I did understand at first, and then it seemed as though he was speaking directly to me. I heard the plan of salvation for the first tie, and that very evening I received Jesus Christ and was born again. At last I had the peace that only God can give. "Since then,
the Lord has allowed me to experience many tragedies and triumphs so
that now I can testify to the goodness and perfect plan God has for each
one of us. All those weird and horrible things that have happened to me
were so that I can tell stories of God's goodness and share them through
the power of the gospel. I would not change a day of my life, as they
have made me see that the Lord is our only hope for peace, joy, and
salvation."
