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.

Hiking through
5By ubexwThis book is awesome and full of nuggets of wisdom.A good read
5By ShoshonelakeintheeveningI was interested in this quest. I’m interested in his perspectives. I’d like to give it a go myself. I was hoping for a bit on how to avoid the ticks, the type of clothing worn, and etc. Neverthe less, I am sad to have finished the book. In a way, it is a how to book and in a way it isn’t. I enjoyed this book very much. You should read it.Walking Through

5By Velo4300If you have any interest in hiking this book will be one you will remember. It is humorous and intelligent. This book is also for those of us who have lost someone profoundly meaningful in our lives. It is also for those of us seeking answers about the deeper things in life and what matters the most. Come with a open mind and heart.Meaningful Adventure

5By FredBoeheimWhat a most excellent story. Much more than a walk along the Appalachian Trail, but a story of finding ones self n the solitude and wonder of the walk. I highly recommend this book. Thanks for sharing your story.
