About the Book Walking with Jesus
Book: Walking with Jesus
Author: Troy A. Waugh
Genre: Non-Fiction
Release Date: Feb, 2020
When God spoke to Troy Waugh saying, “I want you to walk the Natchez Trace,” he obeyed.
Never mind that he wasn’t young anymore—he would be seventy at the completion of the 444-mile walk. And never mind that the thirty-five-day walk would be far above his physical capabilities and experience. Never mind that this was Mississippi—in the summer.
Taking the challenge, Waugh uses the time to slow down and reflect on his life—his upbringing, his relationships, his struggles with workaholism—and to raise awareness for a homeless ministry. More than a travelogue, this is a journey into the soul of a man learning to walk with the Lord daily. His reflections will inspire others to reach for and accomplish their own difficult goals.
I believe my walk on the Natchez Trace was God’s method of shaking me loose from the regrets of my past and firming up my spiritual belief system so I could walk into the future closer to Jesus.

My Thoughts on Walking with Jesus:
I love to walk. When I walk my mind often wanders to think about things that have happened or dream about the future. While I can never see myself walking almost 450 miles as a challenge taking thirty-five days, I can see myself using my daily walk time to pray or spend more time with God versus just letting my mind wander.
Daily walks sound like something that will be added into my children and my own lives now. Especially in this time while it is so uncertain and we’re basically all self-isolating in our homes. This is something I can teach my children. I can teach them to use our daily walk time to marvel at what God has provided for us and to thank Him. And then we can pray and praise. I’ve taken my phone before to listen to praise music and I think that’s a good way to connect and praise God as well.

More from Troy
Please join me on a spiritual journey along the Natchez Trace Parkway from Natchez, Mississippi, to Nashville, Tennessee. This book relates a journey of spiritual renewal and rediscovery. While it does describe what I encountered on this historic parkway, this is not a hiking or nature book. It is about my walk with Jesus and how He has loved me even during the times I may have strayed from Him.
In 2014 I experienced a deepening of my relationship with Jesus like no other. This book is about that cleansing and invigorating experience. My prayer is that you, too, will feel God’s love for you and you will recommit yourself to loving Jesus.
These thirty-one chapters are based upon notes from the daily journal I kept throughout the hike. Each of the days is unique, and each day God revealed Himself to me in a different way.
I trust your spirit will be renewed as I share some of my experiences of angels’ visits, hearing the audible voice of God, the move of the Holy Spirit, a shocking suicide, the miracle of a change in the climate, and the renewed life that comes from turning your life over to God.
