Seen and Unseen Companions On My Appalachian Journey

by Paul Fitz-Patrick

Seen and Unseen Companions on my Appalachian Journey is about Paul Geary who has a mid-life crisis and decides to hike the Appalachian Trail. Paul tries to discover what God’s plan is for him and why God has let him down. As he begins his hike in Maine he discovers that God has always been with him, but that God just wasn’t answering his prayers in the ways Paul wanted Him to. He meets many interesting people on his journey and realizes he is drawn to people who he shares something with, namely, God and family. Some of Paul’s companions are providential messengers who help Paul see that God has gifted him in many ways during the course of his life. He also realizes that his personal witness of God and his own life’s events help others along the way to believe and trust in God. The point of the journey becomes the journey itself and when Paul returns home he realizes what he is supposed to do with the rest of his earthly life.
