I grew up loving Jesus, Sunday potlucks, and the feeling of grass under my bare feet. I just did not realize for a long time that the last one could apply to my whole self. I was raised hearing a lot about modesty, and most of it boiled down to covering up anything that might cause someone else to think something they should not. But no one ever explained to me why God would give us skin and then expect us to be ashamed of it. I am not talking about lust or flaunting or any of that. I am talking about the simple reality that God made us bare in the garden, and called that good. So years ...

In 2009, Loreen Niewenhuis walked completely around Lake Michigan. This audiobook chronicles that journey, a 1,000-mile walk around the world's fifth-largest lake. The audiobook explores both the geology of the lake and the measure of a person - a woman, married, mother of two sons (who joined her for portions of the walk). But most of the walk was done solo, an adventure in discovery of self and place. Niewenhuis conveys a sense of the magnitude of the lake she loves, a place so elemental to the four Midwestern states that form its shores.
