Discovering the Way

Turn a long walk into a deeply spiritual experience.

A profound yet practical guide designed to accompany pilgrims on their journey. Each section contains passages for reading, questions for reflection, and recommended spiritual practices. Years of of experience working with people searching for God come together in penetrating observations and exercises.

Reverence for the Bible shines through, guiding the pilgrim with the Scriptures. Years of personal ministry coalesce to help seekers hear the feedback of their own footsteps. Each day brings a new spiritual practice, including slow walking, engaging with fellow pilgrims, laying down your burdens and many more. This guide can be used for a six day journey, or stretched out for much longer engagement. Here are reflections and practices the pilgrim will carry home and apply for a lifetime.

Any pilgrim interested in discovering more of God will benefit from these thoughts and practices. Dawn Dishman has led groups of pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago year after year. She works as a spiritual director and campus minister, and pours forty years of practical experience and hard-earned wisdom into this guide.

A handbook to develop your soul as you follow the ancient pilgrimage route of Saint James.
