About this listen
From one of America’s most beloved storytellers comes the inspiring third installment of the best-selling series, The Walk, the ongoing story of one man’s unrelenting search for hope.
Reeling from the sudden loss of his wife, his home, and his business, Alan Christoffersen, a once successful advertising executive, has left everything he knew behind and set off on an extraordinary cross-country journey. Carrying only a backpack, he plans to walk to Key West, the farthest destination on his map.
Now nearly halfway through his trek, The Road to Grace takes him from South Dakota to Memphis, Tennessee. Alan covers more than 800 miles on foot, but it’s the people he meets along the way who give the journey its true meaning.
Full of wisdom and hard-won truth, this is a moving standalone story as well as the continuation of the unforgettable series about hope, healing, and the meaning of life.

Story
What would you do if you lost everything - your job, your home, and the love of your life - all at the same time? When it happens to Seattle ad executive Alan Christoffersen, he's tempted by his darkest thoughts. A bottle of pills in his hand and nothing left to live for, he plans to end his misery. Instead, he decides to take a walk. But not any ordinary walk. Taking with him only the barest of essentials, Al leaves behind all that he's known and heads for the farthest point on his map.

Story
Celebrity Charles James can't shake the nightmare that wakes him each night. He sees himself walking down a long, broken highway, the sides of which are lit in flames. Where is he going? Why is he walking? What is the wailing he hears around him? By day he wonders why he's so haunted and unhappy when he has all he ever wanted - fame, fans, and fortune and the lavish lifestyle it affords him. Coming from a childhood of poverty and pain, this is what he's dreamed of. But now, at the pinnacle of his career, he's started to wonder if he's wanted the wrong things.

RP Evans does it again! He taps into the Heart!!!
RP Evans is able to really awaken our hearts as he lays out these stories of hurt and healing. Emphasis on the healing. We have all lost someone in our lives, that is why this series has an ability to get into your soul, but Richard has a very gifted ability to help exercise your heart to love those whom you have around you and to appreciate every day we have on earth. Thanks Richard for another workout for my heart, and I can truly say I am a better man by reading your novel! God SPEED my brother from another mother!

Richard Paul Evans is one of the GREATEST!
I have never been disappointed in any of his books and this one doesn't disappoint either--quite the contrary. I am anxiously awaiting the next book in this series. I am growing and learning with the character as his journeys introduce him to such special, unique and interesting individuals that teach him something new each time.
Again, I don't mind a little romance, but language & smut are out for me, and I can always count on this author to keep things clean.
Thank you, Richard Paul Evans, for sharing your wonderful talent with the world. I feel like I am blessed to have the opportunity to read your books, but most especially I love this particular series.

Too much about Wall Drug
By the time he got done reading about all the Wall Drug signs I was gritting my teeth. Who doesn't know about Wall Drug? Otherwise it was a pretty good book but not as good as the last one in this series.

What an awesome ending
Would you consider the audio edition of The Road to Grace to be better than the print version?
Oh ya but thats why im listening now instead of reading.
What about Richard Paul Evans’s performance did you like?
There was enough interesting events along the way.
Any additional comments?
He actually stayed away from having an illicit affair along the way, that showed grace. Yet his views and experiences along the way seemed fresh and inspiring.
