You can't plan an incredible life ahead of time. But you can follow the One who already has the road all mapped out. For Third Day guitarist Mark Lee, the road to success was not without missteps and surprises along the way. Hurt Road is the story of a young man who found in music a refuge from the uncertainties of life. Who set out to discover a better way to live than constantly struggling to make sure life turned out the way he planned. Who stopped substituting what's next for what's now . And who learned that through all the miles between birth and death come sweet mercies--and music for the journey. "In a style as thoughtful as it is entertaining, Mark Lee offers great insights on how to stop chasing the 'what's next' and 'what-ifs' in order to experience God right now, even in the midst of a difficult situation.

Smith "God has brought Mark through much, and his story will remind you of how big our God is!"-- Mark Hall , lead singer of Casting Crowns "I've known Mark Lee as a great guitar player, a great friend, and a truly great man.
