Canadian Presbyterian minister and author Paul Myers shares his pilgrimage from Le-Puy-En-Velay, France, to the cathedral at Santiago with us—the good and the bad. What does it mean to be a pilgrim—to walk in these modern times over an ancient route ? Myers shares his thoughts about material possessions, planning for the unknown and reconnecting with amazing primitive sides of life. The book contains numerous color photographs.
Walk with Paul Myers on the ancient pilgrimage route that leads to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Paul weaves together his walking experience with many years as a spiritual guide, a provocateur of the insipid middle, and someone dangerously frank about his own inner struggles.
Rooster in the Cathedral is neither a travelogue nor a guidebook. Instead, the walking journey is used as a means to reflect on some of the larger, and sometimes intractable, issues of life. Read about these topics and more : when to take hold of our circumstances and when to let go, simplifying our lives, loving our bodies, finding our way through fear, dealing with annoying people, accepting failure, celebrating goodness, and discovering our own deepest longings.
At once deep, provocative and funny, Rooster in the Cathedral will get you thinking, and laughing and shouting too, about your own life journey.
•Real about struggle, it is ever hopeful
•Contemplating the spiritual, it is down to earth
•Challenging the status quo, it is certain to make you sit up
