What happens when we literally walk out our Christian life? Drawing on Jesus' lived example of walking, pastor and bestselling author Mark Buchanan explores one of the oldest spiritual practices of our faith.

We often act as if faith is only about the mind. But what about our bodies? What does our physical being have to do with our spiritual life? When the Bible calls us to walk in the light, walk by faith, or walk in truth, it means these things literally as much as figuratively.

The most obvious thing about Jesus' method of discipleship, in fact, is that he walked and invited others to walk with him. It's in the walking that his disciples are taught, formed, tested, empowered, and released.

Part theology, part history, part field guide, God Walk explores:

  • Walking as spiritual formation
  • Walking as healing
  • Walking as exercise
  • Walking as prayer
  • Walking as pilgrimage
  • With practical insight and biblical reflections told in his distinct voice, Buchanan gives you the tools and encouragement you need to immediately implement the practice of living at God's speed.

    Praise for God Walk:

    "In this beautiful, inspiring book, Mark shows us how the simple rhythm of walking can take us farther on the path of wholeness, joy, and God than we imagined possible. Poetic, poignant, and immensely practical, this book will change your life . . . one step at a time."

    —Ken Shigematsu, pastor, Tenth Church, Vancouver; bestselling author, Survival Guide for the Soul

        Buchanan (The Rest of God), a pastor and associate professor of Pastoral Theology at Ambrose Seminary in Calgary, argues that walking provides a route to the companionship of God in this cheery testament. Focusing on the physical act of walking, he writes that when the Bible talks about “walking in the Spirit or walking the light... it means this in more than a figurative way.” Invoking biblical stories, such as the exodus from Egypt and Jesus’s peripatetic lifestyle, Buchanan explores the connection between walking and remembering, and between walking and healing. Personal anecdotes—such as the value of a long walk to calm down, performing a walking prayer, or the pleasure of walking a dog—show the benefits of taking walks with intentionality. Sometimes the focus on walking veers into the metaphorical, as in Buchanan’s rumination on the Via Dolorosa (the route Christ followed to his crucifixion) as a metaphor for “the way of suffering.” Nevertheless, Buchanan’s many personal stories and accounts of Christians being transformed by meandering meditations on God are fresh and inviting. Christians looking for a more physically active faith practice should check this out.
