This book will move and inspire you.” -- Pam Rhodes\u003cbr\u003e“Engagingly insightful, endearingly witty, and wholly honest, this account of Tony's adventure will whet your appetite, as it has mine, to embark on your own pilgrimage into self-discovery and deeper richness of life.” -- Simon Guillebaud\u003cbr\u003e\"Tony Collins' new book is an absolute delight.  We take not one walk with him, but two, and both are a genuine pleasure.  Here is a man who stands at the verge of retirement, who looks back and forward, and does so with both reverence and great good humour.  There was so much quiet passion contained within these pages, and so many powerful lessons.  Highly recommended.\" -- Davis Bunn, bestselling author\u003cbr\u003e“Reading Tony Collins's tale of thirty-two days upon pilgrimage provides a reader with much of the experience of the journey, except for aching knees and blisters.  Tony began the trek hoping to `put myself in a situation where, if God were inclined to speak to me, I would be in a state of mind to listen.’  It becomes apparent as the book ends that this did indeed happen.  If one cannot make the pilgrimage to San Juan de Compostela, reading TAKING MY GOD FOR A WALK is an excellent substitute.” -- Mel Starr, author of The Unquiet Bones\u003cbr\u003e“Veteran British publisher Tony Collins calls us to join him along the famous Camino pilgrimage path, guiding us through its beautiful, gritty, punishing terrain. Joy, pain, regret, discovery - you experience them all on a journey like this.” -- Sheridan Voysey, writer, speaker, broadcaster\u003cbr\u003e“A beautifully-crafted, hope-laden invitation to us all to put on our walking boots.” -- Malcolm Duncan, author and speaker\u003cbr\u003e“A truly wonderful book: part travelogue, part history, part journal. Tony writes with wit, charm and intelligence, and above all, honesty.” -- Andy Bannister, author of The Atheist Who Didn’t Exist\u003cbr\u003e\"This is a pilgrimage on paper. The words are like the whisper of God on the evening breeze. The images painted are like glimpses of the dawn after a long night. Tony's pilgrimage is that of a man who is learning to fall upwards, in the words of Richard Rohr. You hear the depth of his faith and the yearning of a heart that knows God is so much bigger than any of our limited notions of him and so much more beautiful than our most beautiful thoughts and ideas of him.\" -- Malcolm Duncan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments 11\u003cbr\u003eForeword 13\u003cbr\u003eMap of the route 16\u003cbr\u003ePrologue 17\u003cbr\u003eA Reason to Go: Day 1 19\u003cbr\u003eSt Jean Pied-de-Port: Days 1 and 2 31\u003cbr\u003eWhy? 49\u003cbr\u003eBurguete – Larrasoaña: Day 3 60\u003cbr\u003ePamplona – Cizur Menor – Puente la Reina:\u003cbr\u003eDays 4 and 5 70\u003cbr\u003ePuente la Reina – Estella: Day 6 83\u003cbr\u003eEstella – Los Arcos: Day 7 89\u003cbr\u003eTorres del Rio – Viana – Logroño: Day 8 97\u003cbr\u003eLogroño – Nájera: Day 9 108\u003cbr\u003eNájera – Cirueña – Santo Domingo de la Calzada:\u003cbr\u003eDay 10 114\u003cbr\u003eSanto Domingo – Belorado: Day 11 120\u003cbr\u003eBelorado – San Juan de Ortega – Agés to Burgos:\u003cbr\u003eDays 12 and 13 126\u003cbr\u003eBurgos – Hornillos: Day 14 140\u003cbr\u003eHornillos – Castrojeriz: Day 15 149\u003cbr\u003eCastrojeriz – Frómista – Carrión de los Condes:\u003cbr\u003eDays 16 and 17 159\u003cbr\u003eTerradillos de los Templarios – Calzadilla de los\u003cbr\u003eHermanillos: Days 18 and 19 169\u003cbr\u003eMansilla de las Mulas – León – Villavante:\u003cbr\u003eDays 20 and 21 179\u003cbr\u003eAstorga – Rabanal del Camino: Days 22 and 23 188\u003cbr\u003eMolinaseca – Villafranca del Bierzo:\u003cbr\u003eDays 24 and 25 196\u003cbr\u003eO’Cebreiro – Triacastela: Days 26 and 27 203\u003cbr\u003eSarria – Portomarín: Days 28 and 29 214\u003cbr\u003ePalas de Rei – Ribadiso: Days 30 and 31 220\u003cbr\u003eO Pedrouzo – Santiago: Day 32 229\u003cbr\u003eThe Naked Pilgrim: Day 33, and counting 238\u003cbr\u003eCoda 242\u003cbr\u003eThe Prayer of the Pilgrims 246\u003cbr\u003eSelect Bibliography 249\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SPCK Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48737650868567,"sku":"9780857217738","price":9.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/taking-my-god-for-a-walk-9780857217738","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
