The Road to Amistad

By: Ken Dickson

Narrated by: Michael Rubino

Do you long to chase your dreams but fear to take the first step?

In this contemporary spiritual odyssey, an ordinary man recovers from a traumatic ordeal and returns to normal life only to toss and turn at night because of a prophetic dream and a newfound desire to better the world.

With a family to provide for, he ignores the dream and his aspirations until he makes an incredible discovery: he is not alone. A handful of others share the same uplifting dream and powerful calling. As the puzzle pieces miraculously fall into place, he joins them to change the world.

Unbeknownst to this ambitious team, a higher power guides them toward their destiny, rewarding choices that favor it’s mysterious plan, and punishing—sometimes brutally—those that do not.

As we watch the principal characters evolve through their glorious triumphs and heart-breaking tragedies, we also see how to change our own story, break down the fabricated walls that entrap us, and create a more fulfilling life.

Through its engaging storyline and relatable characters, The Road to Amistad dares us to explore our true selves and shines light on the dazzling future that awaits us if we will take the time to listen to our hearts, heed life’s subtle messages, and follow our dreams.

If you are ready to begin your own amazing journey, hesitate no more—cast your fears aside and take the first step by listening to The Road to Amistad.
