The Springville Presbyterian Book Lovers will meet to discuss “The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry”, a novel by Rachel Joyce. We welcome all who enjoy fellowship and discussion.

Rachel Joyce on writing, “In my head, books are always competing with real life.”

Harold’s long walk — so simple, so impractical, so revolutionary — is a heartening reminder of just what those pilgrims of old knew about the power of shaking off everything familiar and striking out for a distant place with a hallowed purpose and hopeful heart.  

Have pilgrimages fallen out of favor today? Are we more likely to go on a cruise than a pilgrimage? Do we travel to relax or to be transformed? Have you had a walk like Harold’s?
