Pilgrim at Baldy Mountain: Learning Life's Lessons One Step at a Time

By Wilson Wayne Grant M.D.

From the beginning, spiritual pilgrims have been telling their story-and other searchers have been reading these stories. Some stories speak uniquely to their own time; others are timeless and live as classics through the ages. Pilgrim at Baldy Mountain follows in this Christian tradition of sharing one's faith journey. Its uniqueness is the discovery in the wilderness experience of insights for living in our confused, and confusing, contemporary world. The design of the book with short, pithy chapters focused around a human interest narrative makes the book ideal as a supplement for one's daily devotional reading.Life is a pilgrimage in which we trace out, a step at a time, our own unique story. Pilgrim at Baldy Mountain traces out life's journey on multiple planes. It explores treks on many mountain trails with ups and downs, twists and turns, rocky crevices and stupendous vistas. As we observe the landscape along this trail we learn about our Creator and ourselves. On this journey, we discover that every life story is unique but every story is also like every other story-we share much in common. Pilgrim at Baldy Mountain chronicles the physical and spiritual journey from early adolescent awaking to the precipice of maturity and retirement. The physical geography of this journey alternates from the everyday world of work, play, family, and organizational responsibility to the challenging mountain trails of the Pecos Wilderness of New Mexico. Subtle truths are gleaned from the confrontation of pilgrim and the environment. The spiritual geography of the journey is the internal trails of longing and hope that resides in every human heart.
