Riders for God: THE STORY OF A CHRISTIAN MOTORCYCLE GANG
Remsberg's story revolves around his experiences with the Unchained Gang, a Christian motorcycle group that does its missionary work at Indiana prisons and jails, biker rallies, and other places where people on the fringe are often ignored by church and society. Because Remsberg is neither a motorcyclist nor a Christian, his interest is journalistic. His perceptive skills enable him to fit inconspicuously into the group, and the reader benefits by feeling like a part of this gangDa unique world of bikers and zealous religious belief. In this interesting and accessible portrayal, Remsberg scrutinizes both the inside workings of the gang (combining 62 photographic images with interviews of gang members) and the people it encounters. The stories of those struggling to make sense of their lives offer great opportunities for reflection.
