Travel can lead to greater wisdom, and spontaneous encounters can brighten your face. Patrick Whitworth shares his remarkable life experiences in this delightful memoir. From life in Berlin during the Cold War to travels through the Balkans during a tragically hotter war, and a glimpse of life in Ukraine before the disaster of 2022, this book offers spiritual joy to all readers. In this compelling account, Patrick's determination to bear witness and hear stories shines through. His quest for meaning and moments of reflection intertwine with vivid descriptions of places like Lake Havel in Berlin, the setting sun at Palmyra, and St Catherine's Monastery in the Sinai desert. Each new destination, often in turmoil, is a source of anticipation. His infectious knowledge of Church history highlights the power of seeking truth. Patrick Whitworth embodies a modern Phileas Fogg, whisking readers around the world in various modes of transport, including a hot air balloon. His brisk commentary covers the armies, characters, and events that have shaped the many places he visits, often accompanied by family or friends. Occasionally, a Whitworth ancestor makes a brief appearance, adding a touch of historical intrigue to his adventurous narrative.
