Walk in a Relaxed Manner: Life Lessons from the Camino

At age 60 Joyce Rupp didn't know what she was getting into when she began a 47-day pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago in Spain, the road made famous by the movie "The Way". Joined by her walking friend Tom, a retired pastor, Joyce learned lessons that can help all of us travel on life's up-and-down journey with more grace and lightness. She shares them in this enjoyable recounting of her journey across mountains and valleys, cities and farms.

The twenty-five life lessons include:

• Set Out with Hope and Enthusiasm
• Travel Lightly
• Acknowledge the Kindness of Strangers
• Let Yourself Be Humbled by Weakness
• Savor Solitude
• Return a Positive for a Negative
• Look for Unannounced Angels
• Trust in the Divine Companion

This book describes the humour, heartbreak and adventure of Rupp's 450-mile trek along the famous Spanish pilgrimage route Camino de Santiago. Photographs and a map of the route invites readers to travel along the dusty track as the pilgrims did 450 years before.
