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. With a mixture of dread and determination, Paul left his job, 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 can change yours as well.
In Hiking Through, you'll join Paul on his remarkable 2,176-mile trip through 14 states in search of peace and a renewed sense of purpose. Along the way, you'll meet fascinating and funny people, experience trail magic, and discover that every choice we make on the path has consequences for the journey. More than that, you'll come away with a new understanding of God's grace and guidance, even in the smallest things.
Not at all what I thought it was. Hiking the Appalachian Trail is what I expected. This was about his wife's breast cancer, the Amish and how great his religion is. I don't know if he got peace or freedom because I couldn't make it past Ch 6.
Much more than just a book about the trail, the author covers his personal story to find peace and the relationships he made along the way. Great book.
