“I relished Christine Eberle’s account of her walk, in the footsteps of Ignatius. A long hike provides space for meditation and epiphanies, and this book provides them on every page, together with the everyday challenges of blisters, variable weather, and quirky but delightful international companions.” – Senator Tim Kaine
After spending 300 miles on the Ignatian Camino in Spain with a group whose average age was 67, Christine Marie Eberle returned to the United States with blisters that would fade, friendships that would not, and the conviction that anyone can develop a pilgrim’s heart on this life’s journey.
This moving and often humorous account of one woman’s pilgrimage encourages readers to reimagine their own life’s path. Follow author Christine Eberle as she joins a group in the autumn of life along the 500-year-old pilgrimage route of St. Ignatius Loyola. Pray with them as they walk toward the rising sun. Raise a glass with them at the end of the day. Seek solitude with them in a crowded pilgrims’ shelter.
Traversing mountains, deserts, vineyards, and shrines, witness the hard lessons that pave the way for spiritual transformation. Above all, by using the questions sprinkled throughout the chapters, allow Eberle’s journey to reveal your own pilgrim heart–one that does not require hundreds of miles of walking!
