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.

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.

More religious than spiritual.

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.

Good hiking book, a bit religious
