Overview

Along the Way: To a Meeting Place is part survival tale, part spiritual memoir, and part ancestral detective story-a powerful reflection on what it means to belong, to believe, and to be ""a meeting place"" of all who came before you. When turbulence on a flight knocks Jeffrey Aquino unconscious, he awakens into a vivid inner journey: crossing deserts and caves with only a knapsack and a Bible, naming twelve rocks after the Apostles, building a small raft called ""Glory,"" and following mysterious visions of creation, migration, and faith. Along the way, he confronts hunger, fear, and isolation-but also experiences God's presence in water from hidden springs, in the Rosary prayed by habit, and in the comfort of Scripture whispered in the dark. In Part Two, Aquino steps back from the visions to trace the real-world story behind them-how the Iberian Peninsula and the Philippine archipelago, waves of conquerors and seafarers, and centuries of migration shaped his DNA and identity as a Filipino Catholic. The result is a deeply personal, accessible exploration of heritage, history, and grace that invites readers to consider their own family story through the lens of faith. Perfect for parish libraries, Catholic and Christian bookstores, book clubs, and readers of spiritual memoir, Along the Way offers an inspiring, beautifully written reminder that none of us walks alone: God and our ancestors travel with us-every step along the way.
