The Way Is Made by Walking: A Pilgrimage Along the… by Arthur Paul Boers
"In these pages, [the author] opens to us his incredible story of renewed spirituality springing from an old, old path walked by millions before him. It's a story of learning to pray in new ways, embracing simplicity, forming community, living each day centered and focused, depending on God to provide. Joined by hundreds of others from all over the world, [the author] poets the way to deeper intimacy with God -- a way made by walking in faith." from the book cover.
Meh..... it's all been said before, and better. There were too many personal stories, and I didn't feel at all inspired by his experiences or his writing. It's an important topic - I really wanted to learn something but this book didn't move me to learn or to change.
A well balanced reflection on pilgrimage, Christian faith and the Camino - without being yet another travel memoir. The author's reflections on pilgrimage vs travel are quite helpful, and complement those by Phil Cousineau in his similar work.
This text pairs well with the new documentary Walking the Camino - which I now need to go see again after finishing this book.
This will stay on my growing shelf of pilgrimage materials. I also need to go read more from the author, as his Mennonite theological perspectives were well communicated (and gently so) in this story, so well so that I want more direct experience of his other work.… (more)

I've started using this prayer book in my personal times with the Lord. I find a lot of added benefit in being disciplined in setting aside time and this adds some structure to those times (scripture to read, hymns to sing, prayers to pray and spots for free prayer, thanks, praise, petitions).
