Hiking Through

One Man's Journey to Peace and Freedom on the Appalachian Trail

De: Paul Stutzman

Narrado por: Mike Chamberlain

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Appalachian Trail enthusiasts, hikers, and dreamers will find this story a compelling account of the physicality of coming to terms with life and its sadnesses." ( Publishers Weekly)

More religious than spiritual.

Some interesting details about the APT but not very technical. The author slowly adds more and more reference to Christianity until the hike is in the background.

Good hiking book, a bit religious

While this book does mention religion a good deal, it is also a detailed trail journal with dates, mileage, and specific descriptors for the trail. It's pretty well rounded even for no religious types, and the author and the narrator are very likable.

I loved this book.

Not just another hiking story. Paul opens his heart to the reader. A truly touching story of his journey to find peace after losing his wife to cancer.

Very inspirational!

This book not only inspired me to hike the AT someday, but has inspired me to reach out and face and the challenges and the obstacles in my life.

Powerful and touching.

Hearing personal accounts of hiking the AT is fascinating for me. Paul puts a wonderful spiritual element to his tale which is both inspirational and touching. You can feel the healing that took place during journey. It is a beautiful book.
