In a moving travel memoir, Lynda Rozell shares the spiritual and practical aspects of life on the road in an Airstream trailer. From her personal journey to radical trust in God that led her to embark on her adventures, to the challenges and joys of nomadic life, she traces the transcendent in everyday tasks. Everything you need to know about how to vacation or travel in an RV is here, intermingled with reflections on the beauty of God in creation and the role of faith in navigating difficulties and transitions in life. Through engaging stories, Lynda invites you to come with her while she explores religious sites, areas of natural beauty, and campgrounds. She shares the fascinating communities she finds, including the Airstream community. Her practical advice on how to live a simpler life, equip your RV, tow a trailer, deal with bad weather and breakdowns, and find friends on the road makes the book invaluable to those interested in RVing. They will find lists of tips, an amusing glossary of RV terms, and helpful references. Yet the book also stands alone as a devotional in which Lynda's Catholic Christian faith illuminates these aspects and more. Each part -- Uncovering My Identity, Getting on the Road, Living on the Road, and Renewal on the Road -- concludes with signposts to guide readers in how to grow in faith and share it with others. As a devotional or book club choice, the book contains questions for individual reflection or group discussion plus resources for further exploration. This unique and honest narrative will leave you eager to embark on your own journeys.

In the view of St. Benedict of Nursia, the Lenten journey is an inner pilgrimage with Christ into the deepest parts of ourselves, to be marked not so much by external observances such as fasting and self-denial as by a deepening of our relationship with God. Benedictine monk Albert Holtz develops that journey theme through meditations written during a fifteen-country pilgrimage during a sabbatical year. At the heart of each reflection is the lesson it teaches about our inner spiritual journey. By applying Benedict’s monastic wisdom to the everyday concerns and aspirations of modern Christians, Pilgrim Road helps contemporary spiritual seekers keep Lent as a positive, meaningful, and fruitful experience.

Kevin O'Hara's journey of self-discovery begins as a mad lark: who in their right mind would try to circle the entire coastline of Ireland on foot—and with a donkey and cart no less? But Kevin had promised his homesick Irish mother that he would explore the whole of the Old Country and bring back the sights and the stories to their home in Massachusetts. Determined to reach his grandmother's village by Christmas Eve, Kevin and his stubborn but endearing donkey, Missie, set off on 1800-mile trek along the entire jagged coast of a divided Ireland. Their rollicking adventure takes them over mountains and dales, through smoky cities and sleepy villages, and into the farmhouses and hearts of Ireland's greatest resource—its people. Along the way, Kevin would meet incredible characters, experience Ireland in all of its glory, and explore not only his Irish past, but find his future self. “One of the finest books about contemporary Ireland ever written...In a style evocative of Steinbeck's Travels with Charley, O'Hara writes memorably of his most unusual way of touring his ancestral home of Ireland.” —Library Journal At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.
