Product Description
In 1996, twenty four year old Benjamin Wade sets out on a solo voyage in a tiny sea kayak. His goal lies 6,000 miles away - and deep within his own soul. The chance discovery of his journals, buried on a Colombian cliff above the sea, uncovers a mystery which took many years to finally solve. His journals tell of misery and elation, of triumph and failure, of insight and insanity. Does the man make the journey, or does the journey make the man? Follow the tiny kayak, and follow the mind of a young man set on a goal that no amount of torture can dissuade him from reaching, on a journey that brings him face to face with himself.
My thoughts
A VOYAGE BEYOND REASON is a tale based on the journals of Ben Wade, who at 24 years old took a in a kayak from San Felipe to Columbia. This was not an easy feat; and he recorded his fears, thoughts, triumphs, loneliness and his thankfulness to God. Tom Gauthier has written a truly inspiring story of Bens’ search for inner worth. Gauthier interlaces his own thoughts when reading the journal, sections of the journal and recreates actual events from interviews and remembrances. He has done an excellent job of capturing the human spirit. I loved this book.
