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
Joyce Rupp is well-known for her work as a writer, spiritual midwife, retreat leader and conference speaker. A member of the Servite community in Ames, Iowa, she had led retreats throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Joyce is the author of many bestselling books, including Praying Our Goodbyes, The Cup of Our Life and, from Orbis, The Cosmic Dance and Prayer.
