In Faces of Faith: Reflections in a Rearview Mirror, David Fly writes, "A few years ago, I noticed that automakers had come up with the line I've looked for all my life. They put it on the rearview mirror on the passenger side. 'Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.' That's the way it is with my family. They are the faces in my rearview mirror. Telling stories about them has brought them closer, has taught me who I am and where I belong, and has revealed the Spirit of God. If I didn't tell those stories again, I would miss them terribly. That's what this book is all about."
