40 Days and Nights on the Camino de Santiago: A Pilgrimage for Finding Clarity, Renewal, and Healing

by Kevin Wittmayer

Overview

A forty-day spiritual journey of grief, healing, and faith grounded in one pilgrim’s journey on the Camino de Santiago.

40 Days and Nights on the Camino de Santiago is a spiritual travelogue and devotional inspired by a 500-mile trek across northern Spain on the Camino de Santiago. Blending travel entries, scripture, and theological reflection, this unique guide invites readers into a rhythm of prayer, vulnerability, and presence. Each day’s entry explores a distinct moment on the trail—from solitude and struggle to grace and companionship—drawing out the deeper movements of the Christian life: separation, purgation, dying to self, and resurrection. A field guide that pairs a physical journey with spiritual exploration, it’s designed for readers who are seeking, struggling, discerning, hoping, healing, or just wandering.
