    About this audiobook

    The way of the pilgrim begins with what we leave behind-not so much a journey to a holy place, but a holy practice of leaving the comforts of the familiar for a radical vulnerability, letting the very breath of God direct us on the unknown, stripped-down path of trust.

    In Without Oars, Wesley Granberg-Michaelson blends history, storytelling, biblical insights, personal reflections, and spiritual formation in an inviting call to discover pilgrimage as a way of life. This book offers a unique perspective on the faith journey as an embodied practice of heading into the unknown and unknowable-with all the excitement, risk, and rewards that come with letting go.

      I was very impressed with Wesley Granberg-Michaelson's ability to articulate the transformative experience of moving slow enough (A Three Mile An Hour God)to be reflective. He is also a great example taking time with God; that growth is lifelong and accumulative.
