Based on a true-life journey, The Straight Story chronicles 73-year-old Alvin Straight and his travels from Laurens, Iowa, to Mount Zion, Wisconsin, on a 1966 John Deere riding lawnmower. His trip takes him across hundreds of picturesque miles of America's Heartland, into a variety of people's lives, and all the while he shares his simple but poignant insights. Despite crippling arthritis and poor vision, Straight is resolved to travel by his own means to make peace with his ailing brother. His trek and the incidents that he experiences on the road provides a triumphant and inspirational representation of the course of a lifetime as it nears its end.

The seven last words of Jesus are really the seven last sentences Jesus spoke. This book takes those sentences and uses them as weekly devotional tools. The program has been created with small group dynamics in mind. It is also beneficial to those who are following it by themselves. 
Starting the week of Ash Wednesday and following through until Holy Week the program helps retreat members: 
" establish a daily time for prayer 
" facilitate sharing among participants 
" encourage one another to stay focused on daily prayer 
The format enables participants to carry or pray with one or phrase word each week, then have an opportunity to talk to others in their group about how it helped them in prayer. The portability of praying with the one word or phrase enables participants to lift hearts and minds to God in spontaneous ways wherever they are--whenever the Spirit moves. 
There is a mutual reinforcement of the heart's desire and a strengthening of one's relationship with God.
