Author Kristin Dickerson left her 15-year career as a TV journalist to join her husband, Peter, on a pilgrimage to some of the holiest places in the world.
Their journey began in Spain with an ancient walk that’s known for transformation—the Camino de Santiago. As they neared the final 100 miles, the call to capture her odyssey was made very clear. So, Kristin started writing and her testimony poured out of her.
This book is the journal she kept on their 98-day pilgrimage across Spain, then Israel and India—visiting the sacred sites and also experiencing the love of Jesus, Buddha and Shiva.
Along with detailing their travel adventures, local cuisine and the lessons learned from fellow pilgrims, Kristin also weaves in her personal journey back to God. She shares her transformation from depression, alcohol and drug use, insecurities in her marriage, and not being able to speak up for herself, to a place of peace, strength, and gratitude.
Some of the stories she shares about her past struggles are not flattering, but as the Bob Dylan lyrics that kept coming to her on the Camino declared, “you’ve got no secrets to conceal.”
The book is available in paperback and audiobook HERE.

Incredible Journey
It is amazing how our world makes us believe life should be one way, but all the while we know it should be different. Kristin and Peter share their journey of reordering their lives and the peace and joy which comes when the world as we know it slips away. Exceptional story of their incredible faith and the love of God that truly wants what is best for us (no matter how painful that might be at the time) and wants us to enjoy the gift of the life we are given. Wonderful, thought provoking, and inspiring adventure!
