"My name is Alan Christoffersen. You donโt know me. โJust another book in the library,โ my father would say.
โUnopened and unread.โ
You have no idea how far Iโve come or what Iโve lost. More important, you have no idea what Iโve found."
โPrologue
What would you do if you lost everythingโyour job, your home, and the love of your lifeโall at the same time? When it happens to Seattle ad executive Alan Christoffersen, heโs tempted by his darkest thoughts. A bottle of pills in his hand and nothing left to live for, he plans to end his misery. Instead, he decides to take a walk. But not any ordinary walk. Taking with him only the barest of essentials, Al leaves behind all that heโs known and heads for the farthest point on his map: Key West, Florida. The people he encounters along the way, and the lessons they share with him, will save his lifeโand inspire yours.
Richard Paul Evansโs extraordinary New York Times bestsellers have made him one of the worldโs most beloved storytellers. A life-changing journey, both physical and spiritual, The Walk is the first of an unforgettable series of books about one manโs search for hope.
