Just a few years ago, Arthur Paul Boers wasn't thinking about pilgrimage. But over time he began to sense a deep call from God to walk the five-hundred-mile pilgrimage route known as Camino de Santiago, ending in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, at a cathedral that is said to hold the relics of the apostle James. In these pages he opens to us his incredible story of renewed spirituality springing from an old, old path walked by millions before him. It's a story of learning to pray in new ways, embracing simplicity, forming community with strangers, learning to live each day centered and focused, depending on God to provide. Joined by hundreds of others from all over the world, Boers reveals the unique challenges and personally transforming lessons a pilgrimage offers both during the journey itself and after the return home. And he gives practical suggestions to help you consider a pilgrimage of your own. His story provides a way for you to reflect on your own story of Christ's work in your life. And it points the way to deeper intimacy with God a way made by walking in faith.
