To Hell's Mouth and Back

Theological reflection on the lived experience of pilgrimage and suffering

Trystan Owain Hughes explores how our life journeys reflect pilgrimages, as God’s light and hope breaks through our daily lives and transforms our personal suffering.

After a gruelling 140-mile pilgrimage walking across the rugged terrain of North Wales, Trystan Owain Hughes finds himself facing another, very different pilgrimage as he recovers from a serious injury sustained on the walk.

In To Hell’s Mouth and Back he explores his experience of suffering, considering how God can redeem and transform pain and disability, and examines how common experiences of pilgrimage are echoed in the challenges of our life journeys. Along the way, the reader is led to consider the journeys we all face, as we search for God’s presence and hope in our joys and pains.
