Backyard Pilgrim: Forty Days at Godspeed
This guided pilgrimage follows 2 paths: one biblical, one local . . .
The BIBLE PATH is already charted – 40 verses from Genesis to John’s Gospel following the story of God’s first question to Adam & Eve, “Where are you?” to Jesus Christ’s answer on our behalf: “Here I am for you, in places you’d never expect.”
The PARISH PATH is a particular route each pilgrim chooses, and commits to walking 15 minutes a day for forty days. Churches or small groups can also chose to gather one night a week to ask questions about the Bible Path verses, and to share stories from their local parish walks.

Theology of the Ordinary
Upon returning home to America, Julie Canlis was struck by the emphasis within Christian circles on being 'extraordinary' or 'radical' or 'passionate' for God. But what about the goodness (and challenge) of living our 'normal' lives for God? The joys and challenges of living an ordinary life in the presence of God gave rise to this little book, and is the lived theology behind what Godspeed is about.
