About this listen

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 14 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.

Interesting

Pretty interesting read. I wasn't expecting for it to get extremely religious during most of the book, to the point of having to take a break from listening to it because the author was preaching to the reader. But if hiking and religion is your thing then this is a definite read! But if hiking only is, take it in small sections and it's worth listening to!

A Thorough Enjoyment

I enjoyed listening to this book, from the first words to the last, and everything in between. I loved the spiritual connection, the adventure and the surprises. I longed for the strength, energy and ability to through hike the AT, my imagination and dreams will have to do for now. I certainly did enjoy the ability to come along, if only in my heart, mind and soul. Fantastic story, narration, and message. Thanks for sharing.

Great book

This was a great book! I found myself laughing in the beginning with some of his stories while growing up. Very easy to get into this book.
Made me want to hike the trail, sounded like it would be a great adventure.
The best part was the last chapter. What a great message.

Good listen, a lot of "god" talk.

It was a good listen and I enjoyed the narration. But when God started amswering him, I seriously started to wonder about his mental health.

If you're religious, or believe in God, you'll probably love this book.

I enjoyed hearing about all the people he met, it was what kept me going through the book. Overall, well done.
