Dallas and the Spitfire: An Old Car, an Ex-Con, and an Unlikely Friendship
A Suburban Dad and an Ex Con Show What Discipleship Looks
Like
Ted is an educated thirty-something father of two who's been going
to church his whole life. Dallas is a twenty-one-year-old former
cocaine addict with a prison record who has recently become a
Christian. When they agree to meet regularly for "discipleship,"
they know that chatting once a week in a coffee shop just won't cut
it. Instead, they decide to get to know each other while restoring
an old Triumph Spitfire. Filled with surprises and humor, Dallas
and the Spitfire tells a gripping story of two lives changed,
and along the way gives readers a new model for men's ministry.
