My River of Joy: Hiking the Camino
One woman. One backpack. One unforgettable 650-kilometre walk of faith.
When Donna Preater stepped onto the Camino de Santiago, she carried hopes, questions, and a deep desire to hear God. What she found was a River of Joy that flowed through every step—through community, challenge, laughter, loss, beauty, and surprise.
Honest, warm, and deeply encouraging, My River of Joy reminds us that God meets us in the ordinary, strengthens us through others, and still whispers love to anyone willing to walk and listen.
