Every meaningful book begins with a moment—an encounter, a question, a heartbreak. For Frank Decotis, Bike Path Wisdom was born out of such a moment. This isn’t just a book; it’s a conversation. A spiritual dialogue penned from the depths of grief, loss, faith, and an unwavering pursuit of understanding God’s heart.

Before the pages came to life, Frank’s life took a devastating turn. His beloved son Jason, only 35 years old, passed away from a rare liver disease. It was a loss so profound that words often fail to capture its weight. He died at home, in the room next to his parents. The heartbreak was immeasurable. For Frank, this was not just a tragedy—it was a turning point.

The long walks that followed—along a quiet bike path in Cranston, Rhode Island—became sacred. A place where tears could fall freely, questions could be asked without filters, and Jesus was more than a theological figure. He was a companion, a friend, a counselor. Those paths were not just trails through the woods; they were the setting for countless heart-to-heart talks with the Savior.

The book reflects those conversations. With a unique mix of raw honesty, wit, sarcasm, and profound spiritual depth, Frank wrote what many think but are afraid to voice. Bike Path Wisdom challenges the norms of organized religion, exposes the shallowness of performative faith, and invites the reader into something deeper—a living, breathing relationship with Jesus.

Readers meet a Jesus who listens, who challenges, who jokes, who mourns—and above all, who walks beside us. Frank’s Jesus isn’t trapped in a pulpit or a stained-glass window. He’s on the path, wearing sneakers and a flannel, speaking truth with love and disarming insight.

But this book isn’t only about grief. It’s about healing. About growth. About deconstructing the old and rebuilding something authentic. Frank wrestles with church culture, modern Christianity, suffering, guilt, and the constant tug-of-war between religious tradition and spiritual freedom.

What makes Bike Path Wisdom resonate so deeply is its humility. Frank doesn’t pretend to have it all figured out. He doesn’t preach from a pedestal. Instead, he shares from a bench along the bike path, inviting readers to sit down, take a breath, and just listen. It’s in these pages that you don’t find a set of doctrines—you find a dialogue. You find grace.

Behind the pages of this book is a man who chose not to let grief silence him but instead let it sharpen his ear to the still, small voice of God. A father who asked the hardest questions and dared to believe God could handle them. A follower of Christ who learned that sometimes, faith looks less like perfect answers and more like honest conversations.

Bike Path Wisdom is more than a memoir. It’s a mirror. It reflects the heart of someone who has walked through fire and come out tender—not bitter. Who has challenged the system without abandoning the Savior. And who, through it all, invites us to do the same.

So if you’ve ever felt disillusioned with church, unsure about God’s plan, or overwhelmed by loss—this book is for you. It doesn’t offer cliché answers.

It offers a path. A conversation. A companion.

And maybe, just maybe, the courage to walk your own path of wisdom.
