About this listen

Jason Thomas was a man everyone called when something needed fixing—except his own soul. A former Marine, a broken father, and a man fading into silence, Jason’s life has become a runaway train headed for collapse. Haunted by abandonment, marred by failed relationships, and surrounded by the wreckage of choices he can’t outrun, he’s reached the end of the line… with a bullet marked “Peace” and a note that says “I’m sorry.”

But just before the final act, an unexpected phone call from a long-lost friend sparks a conversation that begins to unravel decades of pain. As memories resurface and the walls he’s built start to crack, Jason finds himself navigating a quiet road back to something he thought was gone forever—hope.

Runaway Train is a raw, redemptive journey through the hollow places of grief, masculinity, and faith. With unforgettable dialogue, soul-deep emotion, and a hauntingly honest voice, this powerful Christian fiction story speaks to the bruised and the burned out. It reminds us that even when life derails, grace can still lay new tracks.

For listeners who’ve loved The Shack, Wild at Heart, or Hillbilly Elegy, this audiobook is not just a story—it’s a lifeline.
