Words from Fellow Travelers
No one walks this journey alone. Here is what everyday readers are saying about the Our Walk series.
I read all five books over the summer, and it was a beautiful experience. The four devotionals are amazing for daily reflection, and the novel at the end brings all the lessons to life. It is a complete package. Peggy-Sue does not claim to be perfect, which makes her so relatable. I highly recommend reading them in order, as they build on each other perfectly.

It is rare to find an author who can write both an engaging Bible study and a gripping novel, but she pulls it off. The Our Walk series is a journey. Whether you are struggling with finding balance, making a big decision, or just needing to understand God’s grace, there is a book in this collection that will speak to exactly what you are going through.

This series is perfect for anyone who feels like they keep messing up in their faith. The author writes with so much grace. I love the “pondering” concept and how she uses physical exercises to make the lessons stick. It is not heavy or theological; it is just very honest and encouraging. I have bought copies for several friends who are going through hard times.
Laura H.
We used the first four books as a small group study at our church, and it sparked some amazing conversations. The author asks the kind of questions that really make you think. Even the people in our group who are usually quiet started sharing their own stories. It is a very engaging series that helps you look at your everyday life through a completely different lens.

Peggy-Sue writes like a friend sitting across the kitchen table. She doesn’t pretend to have it all figured out, which is exactly why I connected with this series. She shares her failures and her successes, and it makes you feel like you are walking the path right beside her. I found myself pondering her questions for days after I finished the final book.

Book 1: Life is a Balancing Beam
I really loved how interactive this book is. It is not just something you read; she actually asks you to do small exercises like walking a straight line. It made the idea of keeping my balance in life so much more real. It is a gentle reminder that we don’t have to walk perfectly; we just need to keep our eyes on Jesus and take the next step.
Sarah M.
I picked this up during a really stressful season at work. The author’s take on “wobbling” versus “falling” completely changed my perspective. I always thought if I messed up, I was completely off the path. She showed me that a wobble is just a warning to refocus. It is a very comforting read for anyone who feels like they are failing at being a good Christian.
David T.
The chapter about who is holding your hand really hit home for me. I never thought much about how the people I surround myself with affect my spiritual walk. The physical exercise she includes about being tethered to someone is brilliant. It made me take a hard look at my friendships and realize I need to be more intentional about who I walk closely beside in life.
Jessica R.
I love how she takes something as simple as a piece of wood in a gymnasium and turns it into a profound lesson about faith. Her writing feels like you are sitting across the kitchen table from a friend. It is honest, a little funny, and deeply reflective. It made me look at the ordinary objects in my own life and wonder what God might be trying to teach me through them.

Book 2: The Maze
This book came to me at a time when I had no idea what to do next with my life. The metaphor of the maze perfectly captured how confusing things felt. The author does not pretend to have a map for your life, but she gently points you toward the Guide. I really appreciated that she admitted her own wrong turns. It gave me the courage to trust God even when I cannot see the next turn.
Emily C.
I appreciated how incredibly honest the author is in this one. She openly talks about her own silly struggles, like trying to hide cookies from her family, to explain how small distractions can slowly pull us off course. It made me feel less alone in my own bad habits. It is not preachy at all, just a very real look at how easily we wander and how God helps us turn around.
Tom H.
The chapter about when the maze gets dark was very comforting to me. I have been through seasons of grief where God felt completely silent. The author’s story about running from the dark as a child and learning to walk through it as an adult really resonated. It reminded me that just because I cannot see God working, it does not mean He has forgotten where I am.
Rachel P.
What struck me most was the idea of simply turning around when you hit a dead end. I tend to overcomplicate things, but the author makes it so simple. If you are walking away from God, you do not have to try harder to climb the walls. You just have to turn back. This book is a great read for anyone who feels trapped by their own choices.

Book 3: The Traffic Light
I have always struggled with decision-making, constantly worrying if I am choosing the wrong path. This book broke it down so simply using the traffic light metaphor. It taught me that waiting on God is not a punishment, but often protection. It is a very practical guide for anyone who needs help learning how to listen to the Holy Spirit in their everyday life.
Amanda S.
The chapter on the yellow light was exactly what I needed. I am not a very patient person, so being told to “wait” is hard for me. But the author explains that the waiting room is a preparation room. It helped me reframe my current season of waiting. It is a very practical, easy-to-read book that offers real wisdom for daily living.
Brian K.
The personal stories in this book are incredible. The author shares a story about feeling a sudden urge to stay home and how it saved her from a terrible accident. It gave me goosebumps. It really taught me to pay attention to those quiet nudges and warnings in my gut. It is a great reminder that the Holy Spirit is active and speaking to us today, if we just stop to listen.
Lisa W.
This was a very grounding book. It reminded me that I do not always have to be moving forward to be doing God’s will. Sometimes, stopping is exactly what He wants. The author writes with such a warm and challenging tone. She makes you look at your own motives without making you feel guilty. It is a solid read for anyone who feels like they are always rushing ahead.

Book 4: The First Step
I have been a Christian for years, but I still struggle with feeling like I have to earn God’s love. The author’s analogy of the free ticket absolutely broke me. It made me realize I have been trying to pay for something that Jesus already bought. This book is a beautiful, emotional reminder of pure grace. It is perfect for anyone who feels exhausted from trying to be “good enough.”
Jennifer D.
I bought this for a friend who is just starting to explore faith. I ended up reading it first and was so moved. The author explains salvation in such a clear, simple way that removes all the religious jargon. The story about the roller coaster line at the end is a brilliant way to look at life and eternity. It is a very gentle introduction to the Gospel.
Paul V.
This is the most emotional book in the series. The idea of carrying a ticket with you through the good days and the bad days is so powerful. It shifted my focus from what I can do for God to what He has already done for me. I found myself crying at the final chapters. It is a beautiful invitation to stop trying to fix yourself and just step into God’s family.
Melissa F.
The author does a fantastic job of bringing the whole journey full circle. The first book was about balance, and this one is about taking the leap. I loved the way she talks about how the beam, the maze, and the light all point to one person: Jesus. It made me realize I can’t just study the path. I actually have to walk it. It is a very inspiring and action-oriented read.

Book 5: The Spiritual Encounter (The Novel)
I am usually a slow reader, but I could not put this novel down. Following Caleb’s life from a young boy all the way to his eighties was such an incredible journey. Watching him navigate his career, marriage, and fatherhood while trying to figure out the lessons from the mysterious Sam felt so real. It is a beautiful story about how God’s grace follows us through every season.
Hannah G.
I loved the mystery element of this book. Finding the silver pocket watch stopped at 3:17, and the creepy sawmill kept me turning the pages. But beyond the mystery, it is a deeply moving story about how our past mistakes do not define our future. The way the author weaves the lessons from the four devotionals into Caleb’s everyday life is incredibly clever. It is a fantastic read.
Jason E.
The character of Sam Reed was my absolute favorite. He is like that quiet mentor we all wish we had in our lives. He does not give easy answers; he just asks the right questions and shows up when it matters. Watching Caleb slowly realize who Sam was pointing him toward was beautiful. If you love inspirational fiction, you will really enjoy this book.
Karen B.
I was not expecting this novel to hit me as hard as it did. The ending, where Caleb is reading the final letter from Sam about receiving the gift, had me in tears. It brings together all the lessons of the series perfectly. It does not feel like a preachy Christian book. It just feels like a real story about a real family trying to figure out faith and life.
