I am a pilgrim, a wanderer. I shall remain a wanderer until mankind has learned the way of peace, walking until I am given shelter and fasting until I am given food.

She walked more than 25K miles, carrying in her blue tunic her only possessions. She crossed America for nearly three decades, bearing the simplest messages: This is the way of peace- Overcome evil with good, and falsehood with truth, and hatred with love. (this is on the inside cover)...she truely lived a remarkable life.

YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN after reading this book! It'll make you take a LONG hard look in the mirror, and you will probably want to change what stares back:)

Peace Pilgrim walked and spoke continuously across America from 1953 until her death in 1981. "Walking until given shelter and fasting until given food," she carried a simple yet powerfully enduring message of peace. A few of her friends later gathered her writings and talks into this first-person account of her experiences and beliefs. Peace Pilgrim has become a spiritual classic, with over half a million copies in print in nine languages. Includes news clippings, questions and answers, photographs, index.
