Every Step a Prayer: Walking as Spiritual Practice

While it’s common knowledge that walking is good for physical health, many people may never have considered that walking is also good for their spiritual health. In this high-tech, fast-paced world, people long to slow down.

Thomas Hawkins lifts up walking as a Christian spiritual practice that can help readers find their way to God. Each of the 6 chapters includes suggestions to help the reader experience prayerful walking, plus reflection questions. Near the end of the book is a chart that helps church leaders brainstorm about ways people gather to walk in their congregation and community and how they could incorporate a spiritual element such as prayer or Bible study with this walking.
