The Pilgrim Spirit: The Longer You Walk, The Deeper You Go - Walking 3,500 km Toward a New Life on the Camino de Santiago (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9788799567225)

"An enthralling, insightful journey of adventure, challenges, life lessons and consoling wisdom for travelers on all of life's long roads." -Gregory David Roberts, Author of Shantaram

During the 2020 pandemic at the lowest point in his young life, Gideon Enok heard a voice, mysterious but unmistakable, calling him to a quest: Why don't you walk from Denmark to Santiago?

It was a daunting challenge: 3,500 kilometers, five countries, walking every day for five months - if you make it - but in that strange moment, he knew without hesitation that he would do it.

What he didn't know was that the journey of understanding within himself, through the agonies and ecstasies of five million steps on the Camino de Santiago, would give his life the serenity, insight, purpose and true love that had always eluded him.

The Pilgrim Spirit sees every day as another part of life's pilgrimage, and every other person as a fellow pilgrim. They meet with an open heart. They help, encourage and inspire with patience, gratitude and resilience. And they share truth and trust quickly and deeply, empowered by a common spiritual goal.

Walking with Gideon, in this honest, compelling memoir, we learn, as all pilgrims do, that what matters most in any journey is who you become along the way.
