This man has an incredible story to share with you. It is a book that you cannot put down once you start reading it. It will give you encouragement and hope. He still hikes parts of the trail every year encouraging the people out there today.

I met Bill Irwin and his dog "Orient" at Bill Gaither's Praise Gathering in Indianapolis, IN. in October, 1993. I attended one of his seminars. What an amazing testimony! I have an autographed copy of his book that I treasure. The story will keep you spellbound as you travel along with Bill and Orient. You can not picture in your mind the difficulty of this feat. I live in Virginia and can see the Blue Ridge Parkway from my house. I have been up on the Appalachian Trail as it crosses the Blue Ridge near where I live. It's truly amazing what he accomplished. There is also a 20 min. color video available from Lynne Whelden Productions, titled "Amazing Grace". If you like stories of courage and commitment, you'll love this book.
if you ever doubted yourself............. December 9, 1998

without a doubt the best about hiking the AT. I found myself numerous times attempting to assist him along the trail..As a hiker myself, i knew the obstacles that he was encountering....a great book.
I loved it October 18, 1998
I am 14 and I have hiked on the trail from Amacolola Falls to Tessnatee Gap (43.2 miles) and God must have been on his side because I have 20/20 vision and I even drifted off the trail I do not see how he did it.
Bill Irwin did what people with 20/20 vision could never do. September 20, 1998

I have thru-hiked the entire Appalachian Trail, and I do not have any idea how Bill Irwin pulled it off. This book is a major factor that inspired me to go out and thru-hike the Appalachian Trail in sections so I wouldn't lose any semesters in college. I had a difficult time hiking the trail, but I was fortunate to have one thing that Bill didn't. My eyesight. This book talks about a modern-day adventure. The book is a book that once you have picked it up, it is hard to put down. He talks about places and people who are still out there, and I gives an accurate portrayal of the Appalachian Trail, and all persons associated with it. Mr Irwin gives what is probably one of the best portrayals of what the Appalachian Trail is all about.
