Year after year, the 500-mile trek across Spain known as the Camino de Santiago attracts pilgrims and adventurers from around the world. Some want to check off an item on their bucket list. Others are working through grief or making difficult decisions. Many are searching for deeper meaning in life. Kevin O'Brien walked the Camino to pray. Each day of the pilgrimage, he asked God to give provision and protection to every member of his family, and as he did, he could not help but reflect on the blessings- and even miracles- that God had already given. Seeds Planted is more than a journal of the Camino experience. It is a stunning reminder that God is good, and He cares about the details of our lives. In fact, He walks with us ... every step of the way.
