Synopsis

After Paul Stutzman lost his wife to breast cancer, he sensed a tug on his heart—the call to a challenge, the call to pursue a dream. With a mixture of dread and determination, Paul left his job, traveled to Georgia, and took his first steps on the Appalachian Trail. What he learned during the next four and a half months changed his life and can change yours as well.

In Hiking Through, you'll join Paul on his remarkable 2,176-mile trip through fourteen states in search of peace and a renewed sense of purpose. Along the way, you'll meet fascinating and funny people, experience trail magic, and discover that every choice we make on the path has consequences for the journey. More than that, you'll come away with a new understanding of God's grace and guidance, even in the smallest things.

Goodreads review by Cindy on June 26, 2021

Currently reading but deciding whether to continue, as with another reviewer I wasn't prepared for how much of it is about the author's relationship with God (God speaks to him and told him to hike the trail after deliberating whether to leave his job as a restaurant manager). I'm on chapter 4 and I......more

Goodreads review by Wendy on August 26, 2012

In order to put into context why I gave this book 5 stars I started reading it yesterday morning and finished it at midnight, not having done much else all day. After his wife dies of cancer Paul Stutzman hikes the whole of the appalachian trail in order to come to terms with her death, work out his......more

Goodreads review by Carol Bakker on August 13, 2022

I don't like being cold. Putting wet, cold clothes on at 4:45 a.m.? Nee, non, nein, nyet. But I *love* armchair tra......more
