You might reasonably wonder why anyone would shoulder a heavy backpack, grab a walking stick and hike across Spain. Whatever happened to planes, trains and automobiles? But Father Dave Pivonka knew that the Camino—the ancient pilgrim path to the tomb of Saint James the Apostle in Santiago—offered an opportunity to focus on God in the stripped-down environment typical of the religious journey known as a pilgrimage.
Father Dave takes you along with him, eager to show that God wants to take care of you whether or not you can see down the road or, if tired and sore, you're tempted to quit. His Camino hike holds real lessons for your own life's journey.
FATHER DAVE PIVONKA, T.O.R., is the director of seminary formation for the Franciscan Friars of the Third Order Regular. He has been a priest for ten years and absolutely loves his calling. Father Dave preaches at conferences around the United States and leads pilgrimages around the world. He wrote Spiritual Freedom: GodÂ’s Life-Changing Gift.

I'd highly recommend reading this book. Even if you are a nonbeliever, agnostic, or Protestant (it doesn't matter), you will find this book interesting.
