Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

At age 60 Joyce Rupp didn't know what she was getting into when she began a 47-day pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago in Spain, the road made famous by the movie "The Way". Joined by her walking friend Tom, a retired pastor, Joyce learned lessons that can help all of us travel on life's up-and-down journey with more grace and lightness. She shares them in this enjoyable recounting of her journey across mountains and valleys, cities and farms.

The twenty-five life lessons include:

Set Out with Hope and Enthusiasm Travel Lightly Acknowledge the Kindness of Strangers Let Yourself Be Humbled by Weakness Savor Solitude Return a Positive for a Negative Look for Unannounced Angels Trust in the Divine Companion

Includes bibliographical references (p. 263-264).
