Backpacking with Jesus - Dean Stephen D.

Backpacking with Jesus is the real-life story of one man's thru-hike on the over 2,000 miles Appalachian Trail. Beginning at Springer Mountain in Georgia, the pathway weaves and winds through 14 states to the majestic top of Mount Katahdin in Maine. The author provides a vivid account of the daily challenges faced in living outdoors for nearly five months. It is a journey of self-discovery and of sharing a very real and personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Much of the story is from the actual journal written during the hike on the AT and the reader will experience a true sense of the rigors encountered during an end-to-end thru-hike. A little of everything can be found within the pages of Backpacking with Jesus, it is written for the outdoor enthusiast and along with an inspirational slant on the meaning of the journey; be it on the trail or through life. Lace up your walking shoes and come along, be prepared to laugh, and sometimes cry. Remember, it is not always about the hike, but more about the journey.
