Publisher's summary

This book will rock your beliefs about fear, security, and taking risks.

In Movement There Is Peace is a powerful tale of travel, adventure, and unexpected faith. It begins with a doctor who walks away from her practice in order to cure her own paralyzing anxiety. Once free, she discovers that leaving is really only fleeing if there's no new direction. Could this be the reason for her husband's sudden inspiration?

"I want us to walk the Camino de Santiago; it's an 800-kilometer pilgrimage across Spain."

After deliberating the wisdom of walking 500 miles with no planning or physical conditioning and little religious faith, the two set off to walk the "Way of Saint James". Their "no-plan" plan sets off a series of extraordinary events that can only be explained as divine intervention. It starts with an enigmatic suggestion from a former pilgrim who sends them off with a caution: "There are no coincidences on the Camino."

The tale itself is a funny, fascinating pilgrim's progress seeded by unique characters and full of amazing surprises. Follow along the pilgrim's path as it shares its secrets on how to:

• Create a life that's unafraid of death
• Experience emotional lightness by carrying a smaller physical load
• Journey without plans, and have more fun doing it
• Make a leap of faith, and land closer to paradise

If you've ever doubted yourself or your abilities, listen to this book. "Lose the fear...live the life!"

Worth a second listen

I really enjoyed the story of both and how they were entwined together. I think I’ll have to do the Camino with or without my husband.

Go Camino!

The Camino is on my bucket list and while listening to this book I was drawn closer to it. I love the introspect of the characters & the in depth sharing of each journey & the effects. What a true blessing!

Any additional comments?

book. I really was not sure how much I would enjoy it, as sometimes religious type books gan get a bit preachy. No worries with this book. It is so inspiring. I really liked the way both authors told of their separate but joined experiences on the trail.

I will listen to this book again and again. That is how much I loved it and I know I will get a lot out of it each time I listen to it.

Love love love

I’m leaving for St Jean Pied au Port in September and it was really refreshing to hear honest words of your adventure. Thank you

Partnership of Ilene and Joe

Liked how the couple’s relationship strengthened and how they both strengthened others that they met on The Way

Thank you a pilgrim I hope to be

Absolutely inspiring, their openly raw journey moved me to begin preparing for my Camino
A true story of love hope and sacrifice
A must read!

Cliche

I enjoyed this book as a reminder of my own Camino. Everyones walks their own Camino including the authors yet they wanted to compartmentalize theirs and pass it off as this is what everyone will experience. Many time I found them trivializing experiences others have had because it wasn't their experience. Otherwise it was an interesting listen.

Confused

I began this book with expectations that it would add insight to the journey that I hope to embark on in 2018. I expected to gain insight into this couples hike along the Camino. What works and what could be done differently. I also expected to learn something about how their hike helped them to grow as a couple and to see how they changed over the course of the 500 mile hike. Instead, I felt like Elaine was selling herself as a psychologist and looking for business. The longer the journey went on, the more I felt she was forcing the story and maybe even exaggerating on her trials and tribulations. I saw two bright and well educated individuals whine their way along the Camino. Overall, confused and disappointed.

Honest and inspiring Camino Story

Thanks for sharing your Camino in such a vulnerable and honest way. Buen Camino and Ultreia
