Trail Thoughts

In all four Gospels, Jesus is relentlessly journeying to Jerusalem. God ’s awesome purpose is behind every step Jesus takes towards his ultimate destination. We are also journeying toward our eternal destiny. God has given us the signposts, but we must seek out His way for us. Are we traveling the good and ancient path that God has marked out for each one of us? Or have we chosen another way? We are all undertaking this journey, but where we decide to go is a choice each one of us must make. Trail Thoughts was inspired by Eric Kampmann ’s love of hiking the 2174 miles of arduous, beautiful paths that comprise the Appalachian Trail. His time on the trail has taught him that we need to step out of our normal routines in order to experience firsthand the mystery and majesty of God ’s universe. It is essential for us to have time and solitude for reflection if we are ever to hear God ’s “gentle whisper. ” He wrote this accessible devotional to help others who are on their own journeys, whether they have just begun the trip or they are seasoned travelers. Each day includes a wisdom passage from the Old Testament, along with a short reflection to help readers in their own journeys toward faith.Kampmann, Eric is the author of 'Trail Thoughts', published 2007 under ISBN 9780825305801 and ISBN 0825305802.
