Walking the Camino de Santiago ( The Way of St. James) in Spain is well known as a spiritual pilgrimage. There are physical and mental challenges, highs, lows, astonishing landscapes, and spiritual benefits for those who attempt any part of the trek. I know because I was lucky to walk 171.5 miles in June 2022 with my friend, Lisa Stone. Three years later, Lisa finished the Camino Frances route with her niece, Jessica. From start to finish, the entire route is about 490 miles in all and it is quite an accomplishment to complete it.
As a result, Lisa’s trek inspired her to write a prayer journal for other pilgrims, titled Pilgrimage with the Psalms. Within the book, there are 30 journal days, each with a specific Psalm excerpt, and a spiritual prompt for the day’s journey. The prayer journal accompanies the Camino, but would actually fit any journey you may wish to take.
Earilier this year, April 2026, Lisa presented a session about her journey at the Sevierville Public Library.
At the presentation, Lisa talked about the history and different routes of the Camino in Spain.
Packing information and useful items.
Lisa gave the audience a wide overview of the trek and told of her inspiration to write a prayer journal.
We had the opportunity to buy books and have them signed by the author at the end. Of course, I got one and hope to use it some day!
In addition, Lisa has written a Spanish version of her book for those who want that language option. Excellente!
