CAMINO BOOKS Walking The Camino by Tony Kevin In May 2006, armed only with a small rucksack and a staff, Tony Kevin, an overweight, sedentary, 63-year-old former diplomat, set off on an eight-week trek across Spain. But this was not just a very long walk — it was a pilgrimage. The Camino by Shirley MacLaine This memoir by Shirley MacLaine is about her pilgrimage along the Santiago de Compostela Camino in Spain. It is a beautifully written account of one woman's incredible experiences along the centuries old trail that has inspired the likes of Saint Paul, Charlemagne, Dante, St. Francis of Assisi, and even Chaucer. On Pilgrimage by Jennifer Lash After 28 years of family life, seven children raised, 15 house moves and a cancer operation, Jennifer Lash suddenly had the urge to go on a pilgrimage. This is the story of that journey. The places are as various as the people - Lourdes, Lisieux, the great gipsy festival at Les Saintes Maries de la Mer on the Mediterranean, Le Puy, and stops made alone at Las Chaise Dieu high in the forests of Auvergne, Saint-Gillies.

Two Steps Forward by GraemeSimsion & Anne Buist A smart, funny novel of love, selfacceptance, second chances andblisters from the author of The RosieProject. Two misfits walk 2,000kmalong the Camino to findthemselves and, perhaps, eachother. The way Under Our Feet byGraham B UsherThe Way Under Our Feet considershow we might encounter theheavenly realms by following inJesus’ footsteps. It reflects on howwalking affects our thinking and ourlooking. It includes stories of thosewho have walked in protest or fledpersecution. It asks how we mighttread more gently on the earth andwhat might be going on when weare on pilgrimage. It explores howwalking at three miles an hour canbe a healing time, offering theopportunity to re-member and recalibrate the rhythm that is at theheart of each of our souls.
