Product Description

▼▲

In the dark period of South Africa's history, between 1980 and 1991, Trevor Hudson developed an eight-day experiential program called The Pilgrimage of Pain and Hope. He designed it to enable comfortable, young, middle-class South Africans to reflect upon the meaning of their faith and discipleship within the harsh and oppressive socio-political realities of their nation. From this experience grew a pattern to help all Christians cultivate the depth of compassion Christ requires.

Learn and experience the three essential ingredients of both an inward and outward pilgrimage: (1) Encounter involves confronting the pain of our shattered and fragmented societies; (2) Reflection comes through daily meditation on Scripture in light of the pilgrimage encounters you have; (3) Transformation into greater Christlikeness comes as a gift.

Publisher's Description

Many think of a pilgrimage as a journey that must be taken in a foreign land. A Mile in My Shoes shows us that is not necessarily the case. This book sensitizes readers to the possibilities of being on a pilgrimage in their own locales, even in their comfortable chairs at home. A Mile in My Shoes will provide a lesson in deep listening to help everyone who reads it understand and become at one with the suffering of others. This books is for everyone who is serious about an inner journey to wholeness, compassion and more ardent discipleship.
