The Journey: Encountering God on the Appalachian Trail

by Harold Howell

As an Air Force officer, author Harold Howell taught new pilots to fly, flew missions into hurricanes, and worked in the White House. The day after his military retirement ceremony, he set out on a completely different adventure—a 2,167-mile thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, one of America’s best-loved hiking trails. The Journey captures Howell’s reflections on his trek from Georgia to Maine, a journey that found him embracing the longing of his soul for something more in life. Practical tips for long-distance hiking are sprinkled throughout the book. Whether used as a 31-day devotional, or read straight through, The Journey gives the reader a peek into the sights and sounds of the Appalachian Trail.
