About the Author

For many years I wrote books to tell people how to repair farm tractors and use computer software. In my vacation time I traveled by car throughout the United States. I dreamed of traveling on more distant paths at the slower pace of a walker. The mountains of Spain, Italy, and Greece and the Nile River called my name for many years. My earlier education in philosophy and theology called me to look more deeply into the soul of the path I was walking. Then in 2000 I left industrial writing to walk and write of more essential and spiritual subjects. This book is one of the results of this change.
