Reviews for Walking with God: The 40-Day Fitness Program and Biblical Journey

Don't just read this book―do this book. There is no better book available to inspire and assist both individuals and congregations to start a walking program. Follow the plan outlined in this book, one step at a time, and you will strengthen not just your physical wellness, but also your spiritual and emotional wellness. * The Rev. Dr. Scott Stoner, creator of Living Compass Faith Wellness Ministry and author of Your Living Compass: Living Well in Thought, Word, and Deed * In writing about her own challenges with hearing loss and an autoimmune disease, Courie brings hope for living with infirmities, and she does this very personally, in a comforting, supportive, and affirming style. I have done several walking programs in our congregation, but I am excited to pursue the many new ideas and perspectives in this one! * Ginny Wagenseller, RN, FCN, parish nurse at Christ Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Westport, Connecticut, and Province One representative for Episcopal Health Ministries * For those of you who are looking for a comprehensive approach to walking, fitness, spirituality, and prayer walking, Christ Walk is for you. This disciplined forty-day program will make a fine Lenten or anytime approach to getting your body, mind, and spirit healthy. * Sara Lee Macdonald, blogger of Walk With Me on Our Journey * As a priest and endurance athlete, I’ve been keeping a training log and journal for years but have long sought a comprehensive and cohesive way to reflect on mind, body, spirit and athletic pursuits. Christ Walk is the book I’ve been waiting for. Whether you are taking the first steps to wellness or have a full race calendar, those seeking to integrate faith and fitness will find Fitch Courie’s book to be a wonderful resource. * The Rev. Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows, co-captain of the SteepleChasers relay team for the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago, half-marathoner, and sometime triathlete * Take a walk with Anna (and Jesus!) on her journey and learn how to follow Christ’s example of walking your way into wholeness. Anna knows that life is one big pilgrimage. * Carrie Graves, Canon for Communications, Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina and President of the Episcopal Booksellers Association *
