Walking the Edge

WALKING THE EDGE
By Graham F. Jones
Highland Books. 223 pages. £7.99
ISBN 0 897913 62 1

Slipping, sliding, tumbling, soon land the author in trouble on the early stages of 'Walk 2000' - his trek around England's coastline. Stubborn determination results in the regaining of his physical balance. By the end of the journey, he has also achieved balance in his personal life.

The Rev. Graham's personal challenge has been to father three children who all suffered from cystic fibrosis. His expedition was not successful in financial terms, but losses in potential fundraising were more than offset and compensated for by what he learned about himself, his fellow human beings, and God, along the way.

The advice he gives as a result will be valued by many readers who may also feel the need to stop their regular pursuits, correct their lifestyle, and strengthen their faith, at the same time reaching a deeper understanding of spiritual things and human nature. This book is definitely worth reading, and not just by those who like to go walking, rambling, or hiking.
