Synopsis

Globetrotting travel writer Lori Erickson has long searched for the sacred in locations and cultures far from home as well as in her beloved Iowa. But when the pandemic put both air travel and in-person worship off-limits, Lori and her husband hit the road with a camper in tow to discover spiritual sites and experiences in their own home country.

From the Serpent Mound of Ohio to the Redwoods of California—and, ultimately, by air to see natural wonders in Alaska and Hawaii—Erickson uncovers deep connections both to the lands that now make up the United States and to the elements that have had sacred meaning to people throughout history and across the globe. Through her profound, informative, and witty reflections on the power of stone, water, light, fire, and more, listeners will discover new destinations in North America while deepening their own connection to spirit. Whether exploring national parks or visiting holy sites, this book makes for the perfect spiritual companion and guide.

Perfect for book clubs!

Goodreads review by Sandra

Every Step is Home called out to me because it promised to take me to eleven US locations where I could find a spiritual connection to the natural world. I spend a lot of time exploring N. America in my campervan and always look for new places to explore. Even though I've driven around all 48 lower......more

Goodreads review by Robert

When I travel I've been known to visit churches, especially cathedrals, to such an extent that my spouse will complain I want to visit another church. Perhaps the reason I want to do this has more to do with the spiritual dimensions of these sites than the architecture and aesthetics, though I have......more

Goodreads review by Roger

I, too, join the chorus of praise for Lori Erickson's most recent book, Every Step Is Home. Perhaps best seen as a sequel to her own Holy Rover (2017) but now constrained by the pandemic and compelled by her mother's passing, Erickson continues to weave the personal and the profound into a tapestry......more
