Hiking Through - Paul Stutzman - Book 20 of 2013
Goodreads Description - After Paul Stutzman lost his wife to breast cancer, he sensed a tug on his heart--the call to a challenge, the call to pursue a dream. Paul left his stable career, traveled to Georgia, and took his first steps on the Appalachian Trail. What he learned during the next four and a half months changed his life--and will change readers' lives as well.
In "Hiking Through," readers will join Paul on his remarkable 2,176-mile hike through fourteen states in search of peace and a renewed sense of purpose, meeting fascinating and funny people along the way. They'll discover that every choice we make along the path has consequences for the journey and will come away with a new understanding of God's grace and guidance. Nature-lovers, armchair adventurers, and those grieving a loss may not be able to hike the AT themselves, but they can go on this spiritual pilgrimage with a truly humble and sympathetic guide
*****************************************************************************************************************
My review - Wow...Despite the obvious religious overtones of the book I really loved it. I understood what the author was doing, what he was saying, and it was wonderful. I hated for the book to end, I just wanted to keep hanging on to his every word. Paul was funny, insightful, and a great speaker. I felt like I was right out there with him on the trail. I'm happy he was able to find what he was looking for on the trail.
