Forty Days on the Way of St James

Kevin Wittmayer turns his own walk along the Camino de Santiago into a devotional of forty daily readings. Each entry grows out of a particular moment or stage of the roughly 800 km route across northern Spain, pairing a short piece of pilgrimage journal with a Bible passage and a reflection on faith.

The readings return again and again to the inner side of a long walk: solitude and silence, companionship on the trail, grace, healing and the work of discerning what comes next. The book can be read as a spiritual pilgrimage at home, or carried as a companion by anyone preparing for, or already walking, the Camino.
