-- Ed Piorek - Author and Speaker.
"Stephen speaks and writes with a prophetic edge that can, at times, be so sharp that we might reel from its intensity. He challenges many accepted ideas and popular teaching perspectives that we have accepted for long years, exposes them in the light of greater revelation from the Word of God, and then presents the truth in simple and obvious one-liners that is honestly joyfully wonderful."

Putting one foot in front of the other
Format: Paperback
I actually bought this book as a gift for a friend who is considering making this pilgrimage. I read it for the first time when it was first published, just because Joyce Rupp is one of my favorite spiritual writers. She has a gift for delving into the spiritual on many levels, from the perspective of a woman, a woman religious, one acquainted with the life and love of God. She writes in an incredibly lucid manner and captures the divine in the midst of life struggles, always prayerfully, with uncommon insight and compassion. In this small and readable volume she tells it like it is.
This book differs somewhat from others I've read in that it is her own lived experience of making this journey across Spain. It's illustrated with photos from that journey and populated and enriched with the varied pilgrims she met along the way.
I recommend it especial for anyone contemplating making this amazing journey, but also for those of us who wish we could.

Must read before walking the Camino
Format: Kindle
Beautiful, thoughtful account of the many ways walking the Camino can challenge us and help us grow. By far the best of the Camino books I read.

Not a bad first-person account
Format: Paperback
I had mixed thoughts about this book. It's the author's personal experiences and thoughts about the Camino, but aren't most books about the Camino? I tend to think it's a little too much interior maundering, how every part of the experience affected the writer. Still, what would you expect? I have to call this just an ok read. Most of the reason I liked it at all is because I am intrigued by the Camino and enjoy reading about it.
The writer is a dedicated sister and her companion was a retired priest. I enjoyed the places where she touched on Catholicism, but there wasn't much of that. But there was the part of the book that I found a jarring note, and that was about her take on some fellow Catholics. She and her companion meet a group of three helpful, warm, caring priests and take them to be Jesuits. The priests inform them that that are Opus Dei. As the sister and priest continue walking, they find they are both astounded at the goodness of these men, since Opus Dei is considered to be extremely wealthy, conservative, and have strong ties to traditional Rome. (I thought all Catholics felt they have ties to Rome. I myself talk about the year I "crossed the Tiber.") It is just amazing to this twosome that such nice men could be from wealthy, conservative Opus Dei. I thought this antipathy toward a Catholic group known to do good works told a lot more about the writer than about the well-met priests--maybe more than she intended to let slide about herself. It was the one part of the book that struck a negative note for me.
Other than that, I also wished for more at the end. They finished the Camino and went on to Finisterre. (Huh? What happened to the time spent at the Cathedral at the end? The beauty of the place and the experience of Mass there, and that wonderful incense burner. That whole part was left out.)
I finished the book and consider it just "ok".

Been on the Camino and love this book
Format: Paperback
I am a Joyce Rupp fan. I'd always dreamt of doing the Camino some day, and when I saw that Joyce had done it, and written a book about it, I quickly bought it and read it.
Her book gave me the courage to buy a plane ticket and go. I'm a hiker and camper. I could tell from reading her book that some of the facets of the hike- some of the albergues, some of the pilgrims, some of the food-- etc etc-- were perhaps harder for her to accept than they would be for me. I thought she gave a really honest appraisal of how things were for her, and was touched by how she eventually resolved some of those contretemps.
I recently was looking at reviews of the book and was surprised to see some of the negative reviews. What I got from reading Joyce's book was an honest look at the Camino from the eyes of a middle-aged woman used to her own personal space, solitude, food, level of cleanliness, etc. One does necessarily give a lot of that up when on the Camino, if you stay in the albergues! They are fabulous places for meeting people from all over the world- but they can make you cringe if you are not used to hearing snoring at night. What I love about this book is the life lessons, her thoughts on what she found there, and what she got out of it in spite of -- and maybe even because of her discomfort.
I recommend this book for mature people thinking of hiking the Camino. In 2011 I accompanied a women's group from my church from Samos to Santiago, and I asked them all to read the book-- they liked it, too.

A Pilgrimage Of Body and Spirit
Format: Paperback
Back in the summer of 2003, I visited a former seminary roommate in Leon, Spain. I showed up a couple of days before his wedding after backpacking through Amsterdam, Paris, London, and Madrid. While strolling together through Leon, my Spanish friend remarked that people thought I was a "Pilgrim" because of my clothing and backpack. I asked him to clarify, and he replied that Leon was on the path of the Camino Pilgrimage. Thus began my interest in the topic.
"Walk in a Relaxed Manner" was the first book I read about the Camino. It's newly published, written by a 60-year-old nun who walked the Pilgrimage around the time I was in Leon. She hit the trail with a retired priest, and this book was born from that experience. The subtitle and theme is "Life Lessons From the Camino," and each chapter is based on a way she grew due to the Pilgrimage. For example, the book's title is shared with a chapter where Sr. Rupp describes how she learned to walk slowly and thoughtfully instead of quickly and competitively. Other chapter titles include "Savor Solitude," "Deal with Disappointments," and "Live in the Now." Such topics may strike some as trite. But I found it impressive that more often than not, it was the walk's difficulties that enabled her to internalize these truths.
The author writes in a clear and readable manner. She rejoices in the high points of the Pilgrimage, and is honest about the lows as well. Each lesson is presented in a thoughtful manner, and all are applicable to everyday life. However, like many spiritual insights perhaps some sort of defining experience is required to truly own them. But reading about these truths may be a way to prepare the heart for their eventual actualization. Although a Catholic nun in the Servite Community, Sr. Rupp keeps things fairly ecumenical throughout her tale. In addition, practical advice about the Pilgrimage is sprinkled throughout the book, and a list of helpful Camino resources is included at the end. There's even an authorized website based on Joyce Rupp's name if you want more info about her.
Someday I'd like to do the El Camino Pilgrimage. I hope I don't have to wait until my sixties, but sometimes you have to let things happen in their time. If I do walk it, I'll be glad if I learn and grow half as much as Sr. Rupp did. Recommended for all travelers and pilgrims.
UPDATE 9/7/07: Well, I only had to wait until I was forty to do the Camino. On 7/14/07 I stepped off in St. Jean Pied-de-Port (France), and on 8/24/07 I walked into Santiago, Spain. After returning home to the US, I went through this book again. It was nice reading about familiar places on the Way, and also to identify with the lessons Ms. Rupp writes about. Recommended even more now that I've actually done the trek.
