Review: To the Field of Stars: A Pilgrim’s Journey to Santiago De Compostela
To the Field of Stars: A Pilgrim’s Journey to Santiago De Compostela by Kevin A. Codd
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I enjoyed every word of this gorgeous, honest, life-giving journey with Fr. Kevin Codd as he made his pilgrimage across Spain to Santiago De Compostela. Fr. Codd not only recounts the physical aspects of his journey, but–more signifcantly–he lets us in on the psychological and spiritual journey he went through as he trekked over 500 miles on foot.
To the Field of Stars is a concrete example of how to do theological reflection; that is, Fr. Codd looks back on his trip and reflects on it in the light of faith, Scripture and culture in order to grow closer to God and into the person God created him to be.
Yes, after reading this I have a desire to walk the camino myself, but what it really awoke in me was the desire to reflect on my own life the way Fr. Codd has reflected on his.
A book that has profoundly affected the way I look at life. Funny, honest, intelligent, meditative, and uplifting. A spiritual must-read.
