Beautiful Things Can Emerge from Life Not Going as Planned

When life takes one too many unexpected turns, do you find yourself saying, I dont know who I am anymore In the wake of shattered dreams, do you wonder how you will keep goingand if youll ever find purpose or joy again

After infertility, an international move, and a professional change shook Sheridan Voyseys world, he realized that he couldnt reconcile his expectations with the life he was living. Feeling lost, he decided to pair his spiritual journey with a literal one: a hundred-mile pilgrimage along the northeast coast of England.

Inspired by the life and influence of the seventh-century monk Cuthbert, Sheridan travelled on foot from the Holy Island of Lindisfarne to Durham. Taking his friend DJ along for the journey, and keeping a journal by his side, Sheridan discovered not resolution but peace. Not ambition but purpose. Not shouts of convictions but whispers of the presence of God.

InThe Making of Us, Sheridan invites us to join him as he walks along Englands shores and we trace the borders of our own hearts. Part pilgrims journal,part call to reflection,The Making of Useloquently reminds us of the beauty of journeying into uncertainty, the freedom of letting go, and the wonder of losing our identity only to discover who we really are.
