The Camino

A Journey of the Spirit

De: Shirley MacLaine

Narrado por: Shirley MacLaine

It has been nearly five decades since Shirley MacLaine commenced her brave and public commitment to chronicling her personal quest for spiritual understanding. Now Shirley is back -- with her most breathtakingly powerful and unique book yet.

The Camino is the story of a riveting odyssey that began with a pair of anonymous handwritten letters imploring Shirley to make a difficult pilgrimage along the Santiago de Compostela Camino in Spain. Throughout history, countless pilgrims have taken up the trail. It is an ancient -- and allegedly enchanted -- pilgrimage. People from St. Francis of Assisi to Dante and Chaucer have taken the journey -- a nearly 500-mile trek across highways, mountains, cities and fields.

For Shirley, the Camino was both an intense spiritual and physical challenge. For a woman in her sixth decade completing such a grueling trip on foot in thirty days at twenty miles per day was remarkable. But even more astounding was her spiritual route: back thousands of years, through past lives to the very origin of the universe.

With rich insight, humility, and grace, The Camino promises listeners the journey of a thousand lifetimes.

Great listen - captivating

Listened while on my treadmill. Shirley's voice is absolutely marvelous. Appreciate her honesty and detail. Highly recommend this thoughtful read.

Spiritual Guidance

Shirley's experience has provided me with a heightened desire to continue on my own spiritual journey. I would love to meet her in person to learn more about her experiences.

Thank you Shirley.

I'm moved beyond words.

I've never been one to follow some actor or actress, but after listening to this I would dearly love to speak with this wonderful woman about her experience and additional thoughts. this wad a treat!!!

spiritual camino

This is as much of a story of an individual's journey as it is a trek across the Camino de Santiago. Fascinating. Thought provoking. Intriguing. Interesting. Shirley MacLaine is truly a gifted (blessed) artist and storyteller.

A good account of traveling the Camino

I read this book because I've had an interest in the Camino for some time - not enough to do it myself, but....
I did go to Santiago de Compostela a few years ago and visited the Cathedral and the town, but I did it the easy way on a day trip from a cruise.
I've known of MacLaine's interest in things spiritual and esoteric for some time and have read some of her previous books. This one doesn't disappoint, although she does get "way out there" in parts of it. She deviates from the story of walking the Camino in recounting the events of a past life in Lemuria. I reamain a skeptic on this aspect of the narrative, but she writes and speaks about it with conviction. Who knows - maybe she's right. I especially enjoyed hearing this book in her voice.
