This book will rock your beliefs about fear, security and taking risks. In Movement There is Peace is a powerful tale of travel, adventure and unexpected faith. It begins with a doctor and her husband. Elaine walked away from her practice in order to cure her own paralyzing anxiety. Once free, she discovers that leaving is really only fleeing if there’s no new direction. Could this be the reason for her husband’s sudden inspiration? “I want us to walk the Camino de Santiago, it’s an 800 kilometer pilgrimage across Spain.”
Joe is an adventurer. He’s been sailing, trekking and diving all over the world, searching for new experiences and alternative ways to look at life. Joe’s a risk taker…but something had changed, the joy was gone. Every year Joe had been hiking portions of the Appalachian Trail with his father but several years ago his dad died on the trail. Joe was supposed to be with him that day but had backed out at the last second. He’ll regret that decision for the rest of his life.
After deliberating the wisdom of walking 500 miles with no planning or physical conditioning and little religious faith, the two set off to walk the “Way of Saint James.” Their “no-plan” plan sets off a series of extraordinary events that can only be explained as divine intervention. It starts with an enigmatic suggestion from a former pilgrim who sends them off with a caution: “There are no coincidences on the Camino.”
The tale itself is a funny, fascinating pilgrim’s progress seeded by unique characters and full of amazing surprises. Follow along the pilgrim’s path as it shares its secrets on how to:
- Create a life that’s unafraid of death
- Make a leap of faith and land closer to paradise
- Experience emotional lightness by carrying a smaller physical load
- Journey without plans, and have more fun doing it
