Synopsis

The way of the pilgrim begins with what we leave behind—not so much a journey to a holy place, but a holy practice of leaving the comforts of the familiar for a radical vulnerability, letting the very breath of God direct us on the unknown, stripped-down path of trust.

In Without Oars, Wesley Granberg-Michaelson blends history, storytelling, biblical insights, personal reflections, and spiritual formation in an inviting call to discover pilgrimage as a way of life. This book offers a unique perspective on the faith journey as an embodied practice of heading into the unknown and unknowable—with all the excitement, risk, and rewards that come with letting go.

Wesley Granberg-Michaelson has given me and urge to walk the Camino de Santiago trail. The main concept though is to see life as a pilgrimage in letting go and trusing in God. I really loved the book/......more
