At age 53, Fritz Nordengren walked 620 miles in 40 days. Beginning at the base of the Pyrenees Mountains in France, he walked in the centuries-old footsteps of pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. - The Way of Saint James. When he reached the Cathedral in Santiago, he continued to the "end of the world," Finesterre and Muxia, before returning to Santiago on day 40.What began as a solo retreat became a faith journey as he discovered strangers who freely gave help and fellow pilgrims who became partners. In their quiet walks, the important spiritual voices grew louder. He shares the faith he found, the friends he made, and the food they enjoyed. In Every Step is a Gift, Nordengren writes 40 letters to his children, sharing lessons learned on his journey and ultimately, his decision to become a candidate in the Catholic church. An ideal read for those looking for 40 days of inspiration and those interested in the Camino experience.
