Pilgrimage is a spiritual discipline not many consider. Aren't the destinations far? Don't they involve a lot of time and walking? Just a few years ago, Arthur Paul Boers wasn't thinking about pilgrimage either. But he began to sense a deep call from God to walk the five-hundred-mile pilgrimage route known as Camino de Santiago, ending in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, at a cathedral that is said to hold the relics of the apostle James.

In these pages he opens to us his incredible story of renewed spirituality springing from an old, old path walked by millions before him. It's a story of learning to pray in new ways, embracing simplicity, forming community, living each day centered and focused, depending on God to provide. Joined by hundreds of others from all over the world, Boers points the way to deeper intimacy with God--a way made by walking in faith.

Reviews for The Way Is Made by Walking – A Pilgrimage Along the Camino de Santiago

After a lifetime of theology and lectures Boers applies his mind to going deeper and taking us along with him. He challenges us who are part of the Church to engage the spiritual longings in our culture by naming the shallowness of the life many of us live, and the need to model more grace-filled lives. --Warwick Cooper, Christian Week, November 15, 2008 On his 31-day trek along the 500-mile pilgrimage route of Camino de Santiago in Spain, Arthur Paul Boers became more aware of God at work in every detail, more sensitive to the spiritual needs of fellow pilgrims, and more convinced of the need to simplify his life. --Sonya VanderVeen Feddema, The Banner (thebanner.org), June 2008 His faith comes through clearly, and I think that active Christians would particularly enjoy this search for spiritual renewal. --Ralph Alcorn, Backpack45 (backpack45.com), February 2008 This book is neither a travelogue nor a guide to walking the Camino, but rather a spiritual reflection, which may be enriching even for those who will never walk the Camino. --Jeremy M. Bergen, The Mennonite Quarterly Review, January 2009 I highly recommend this book for those who have thought of doing a similar pilgrimage and those who have never thought of doing a pilgrimage. This is both a wonderful account of the physical hardships of a 500-mile journey and the even tougher, more life-changing aspects of the spiritual journey resulting from such a trip. --Mary G., Love2Learn (love2learnblog.blogspot.com), December 7, 2007 It offers a new (old) way to explore and deepen faith. --CBA Retailers + Resources, September 2007
