In a time and place different than our own, a fourteen-year-old boy named Rol sets out on a journey, alone. He faces incredible challenges and makes lifelong friends. Rol learns what it takes to be who he is truly meant to be, with help from those he encounters along the way.Be: The Journey of Rol is a story of adventure and hope. It is a tale of friendship, humility and thankfulness, overcoming challenges, the consequences of decisions you make, and the importance of laughing a little as you go through life.

The author of Be: The Journey of Rol is Ric Colegrove - husband, dad, son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, friend, storyteller, illustrator, and juggler. Ric is blessed to live with his family in Northern Virginia, where each season of the year is just right. Throughout his life, Ric has had many encounters with interesting characters, and although some of those memories have very loosely found their way into the book, most of the situations that Rol and his friends face originate from pure imagination and a passion for writing. Be: The Journey of Rol is a labor of love for the enjoyment and enrichment of children, inspired and fueled by the Holy Spirit, family, and friends.
