God Walk

Moving at the Speed of Your Soul

By: Mark Buchanan

Narrated by: Robert Keifer

What happens when we literally walk out our Christian life? Drawing on Jesus' lived example of walking, pastor and bestselling author Mark Buchanan explores one of the oldest spiritual practices of our faith.

We often act as if faith is only about the mind. But what about our bodies? What does our physical being have to do with our spiritual life? When the Bible calls us to walk in the light, walk by faith, or walk in truth, it means these things literally as much as figuratively.

The most obvious thing about Jesus' method of discipleship, in fact, is that he walked and invited others to walk with him. It's in the walking that his disciples are taught, formed, tested, empowered, and released.

Part theology, part history, part field guide, God Walk explores:

• Walking as spiritual formation
• Walking as healing
• Walking as exercise
• Walking as prayer
• Walking as pilgrimage

With practical insight and biblical reflections told in his distinct voice, Buchanan gives you the tools and encouragement you need to immediately implement the practice of living at God's speed.

Praise for God Walk:

"In this beautiful, inspiring book, Mark shows us how the simple rhythm of walking can take us farther on the path of wholeness, joy, and God than we imagined possible. Poetic, poignant, and immensely practical, this book will change your life . . . one step at a time."

--Ken Shigematsu, pastor, Tenth Church, Vancouver; bestselling author, Survival Guide for the Soul

Critic reviews

'Buchanan's many personal stories and accounts of Christians being transformed by meandering meditations on God are fresh and inviting. Christians looking for a more physically active faith practice should check this out.'

A book on walking? oh, yes!

To be honest, initially I was skeptical when the book was handed to me. My pastor quoted from the book and I was intrigued and wanted to borrow it but I was puzzled how someone can write an entire book on the topic of walking. Mark Buchanan is a skillful wordsmith and has the ability to turn the simplest concept into the most profound. Having finished this book, I will approach walking very differently. My default is to hurry through life even when there is really no need for it. One of the main things this book has revealed to me is that God, most of the time, walks slowly. The trouble is that I often run away, or run ahead, and actually miss the beauty of walking, walking with Jesus.

this is a great book!

3 Miles Per Hour

3 miles per hour is the challenge presented. It is the speed of God. It is the speed of the soul. I am convicted to move at Gods speed. Challenge accepted.

Mixed Feelings.

This book is incredibly well written. It is clearly a work of art on behalf of the author. I think I personally struggled with it because I was hoping for more practical information that I could put into practice in my life. What I got was well done, but not as useful as I had hoped. 

Excellent book

I loved this book. Mark Buchanan is an excellent writer. Since reading it, I have walked with more purpose and more gratefulness.

Practical and Needed

The truths in this book will resonate with readers in any stage of life. Practicing its advice will make reader's lives more in step with the purpose behind their life journey.

We’ll worth the listen!

Very thoughtful, well written piece. The vocal performance is perfect. I’ll listen to this again I’m sure.

Life Changing

I’ve been studying Genesis for a Bible study and realized how much the word ‘walk’ and it’s cousin word in Hebrew ‘go’ are used in Abraham’s narrative. After listening to this audio book it makes the meaning of walking with God so much richer and adventurous than I once thought. Thank you Pastor Mark! God Speed!

Beautiful and rich

I love walking while listening to this book. The voice was comforting and convicting at the same time. There was so much to consider and I am compelled to walk more... With God in the beauty of His creation. Thank you.

good with some great parts

it was a good story. it is told very slowly and there are some very good parts in there. but there are also some parts where I almost fall asleep while I'm walking.

Do not recommend

I am sorry, but I do not recommend this book. It comes across as an autobiography of an arrogant stereotypical white man. The significant amount of liberty the writer took with the intentions of Jesus and his disciples were just too much for me. And I am sorry again, but it came across as a quite boring read. It is a great topic and premise, though.
