In 1973 on a ten day hike in the beautiful Shenandoah Mountains, I camped one night with two enthusiastic Appalachian Trail thru-hikers. They were generous enough to share some of their adventures with me. It sounded fun. At that moment I decided to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail. Thirty-six years later, having recently retired, my dream became a reality. I didn't see this as a life changing event. I just wanted to have a fun hike. It turned out to be one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. Have you ever taken a trip, had high expectations for it, and have it far exceed those expectations? That would be the best way to describe my thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. Wow What an adventure

The goal of any Christian is to be as much like Christ as possible, but the way to getting there is more surprising than you think. In Getting Processed, pastor and consultant Jim Hill shows you how cycles of difficulty are actually Christ's way of honing us and helping us grow. The journey, says Hill, is actually more important than the destination. Filled with scriptures and written in a conversational style, Hill shows why the Bible is more important and relevant to our everyday lives than ever before and that even major transitions or crises can sometimes facilitate us becoming our best selves. Important and inspirational, Getting Processed will provide great encouragement for Christians desiring to see beyond their circumstances.
