Rebekah and Patrick, burned-out newspaper journalists from the USA and England, were captured by the generous spirit they found the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage trail. They sold up their American lives and moved to Spain in 2006, to a town of twenty farmers inthe middle of the 500-mile, thousand-year-old pilgrim road. They did their best to catch the ancient rhythms of seedtime, harvest, pig-stickings and saints’ days.The year 2010 was a Holy Year, when more than 300,000 pilgrims walked to...

Yes, @Rebekah Scott has to ask Amazon to connect the paperback and Kindle versions!

Just send them an email and they will do it for you!will do.
For some reason, I did not find the Kindle and the book versions listed together. If anyone else has that problem, this is where I found the Kindle format of "A Furnace Full of God: A Holy Year on the Camino de Santiago."
There is a name for people like me who prefer words on a page. So I ordered the paper version. That way I can pass it on... don’t anybody tell the end of the story please!!!

I think you can order a hard copy or an electronic copy from Amazon if you prefer. I understand if you want to give Ivar the business though.Is there a way that I can be notified when the book is again available in the Forum Store? It is already sold out!
Thanks in advance,

...love your description of "Savoring this like a box of Belgian chocolates". You captured the emotion perfectly. It was a wonderful read! Rebekah, thank you so much for virtually transporting me back to the Camino Frances via sharing your life's journey and your ability to make it come alive through words. It was the best!I ordered my kindle version last week and love how it was delivered on Christmas. Perfect.

Each chapter is a different treat.

It is a camino classic!
...an extra copy to donate to the library.Funding cuts to public libraries here in Australia (and in the UK I believe) mean that its harder for them to stretch their budgets to fairly marginal requests. [..
] So, buy the book AND ...
This is not support. This is pure self-indulgence. Thank you.Thank you all for your support.
Uh-huh.This is not support. This is pure self-indulgence. Thank you.
Good idea SY. DoneJust started it and truly a good read! Also, all of us that have read it, let's consider leaving a review on Amazon so that others might find it also ;-)

Friends, I just finished Rebekah Scott's new book "A Furnace Full of God" (A Holy Year on the Camino). It's available from Amazon. Rebekah and Patrick purchased an old farm in Moratinos, and now welcome pilgrims into their home. I'm no writer, and whatever I say will not do the book justice, but if you've ever wondered about all the people serving others on the Camino, there is great insight here. The relationships, and human-ness (is that even a word?) of people the world over is front and center. Rebekah doesn't mince words, but provides the reader with vivid mental pictures of what life is like when it's not all about you. I know I'm going to be picking up this book again and again. I've already taken a picture of a particular food blessing from the book on my phone so I can remember and use it. Thank you Rebekah, and love to all of the animals.
I wish I could get the book out into the wider world (outside the Pilgrim bubble,) but time will tell...
It was delivered to me a few days ago to Melbourne , Australia via amazon . I just finished it last night . I really enjoyed it -and I shared your book via my fb social media post and also on ‘Australians on the Camino fb group’. Thanks for a good ‘warts and all’ Camino book and all your good work for pilgrims , the Camino community and the peaceable foundation good works . Cheers and I wish you all the best in your adventures.Wow, everybody. Thanks! I wish I could get the book out into the wider world (outside the Pilgrim bubble,) but time will tell... meantime, to answer your questions: There are two maps, a photo in the back, and little images on each chapter title page. I believe they all translated to the Kindle version.
Hard copies of the book (the ones I have to sign and sello) won't arrive until 3 Jan., and thereafter I must transport or ship to Santiago for Ivar to sell. I don't know why things are moving so slowly over here, but that's life on the Perimeter.
The book will also go on sale at the online and on-site bookshop at Confraternity of St. James, London, soon as I can get it to them and work out the legalities.
Thank you all for your support.
Interesting question. Since most of our history is biased chauvinism and not based on facts, it would fun to research. The Romans employed this system of heating (known as Hypocaust) in the 4th century on the Meseta as evidenced at Villa Olmeda, but then so didn't they also introduce indoor plumbing there as well.Did anybody else have a glory hole? Under the stairs, at the back door? I am on page 102. Rebekah is talking about the name for the underfloor heating system. My hometown is at the Western end of the Antonine Wall... maybe that is where we got the word from!
Ha! The Chinese were first at many things, did they have sophisticated underfloor heating as well, or is that truly a Roman gift to civilisation? I can see it will be difficult to close the book tonight...
Yes. you just have to go again...What a beautiful Christmas present to myself! And I've been to Moratinos - but felt it would have been presumptuous to knock on their door without warning. I was silly, wasn't I?
So delightful to see the FFOG thread wander from heavenly praises to the history of indoor plumbing!
... It is also available right HERE from Ivar's shop!
Well, you did write about it in the book, did you not?So delightful to see the FFOG thread wander from heavenly praises to the history of indoor plumbing!
I would like to post a review. Amazon doesn’t like me because I haven’t spent enough money with them. What might I do? I signed out of facebook and have no intention of signing back in.

Ok, so I couldn’t see the wood for the trees... wayfarer, you are so smart!
I had already read Rebekah’s translation of the book El Gran Caminante, and compared it with the original. I knew therefore that she has a most wonderful way with words. With this book, I could imagine sitting down with feet outstretched, the wind howling, the rain lashing against the window panes, the (real ) fire burning and snapping away in the hearth.... stop! This is about Rebekah and her book! So, yes, I loved the way she wove the stories into pictures. When I was a child, in the 50s, radio stories were wonderful, chapters told each week. This book would be perfect for that.
I finished the book this morning on the bus. A big mistake. I had to control my blubbering, because at this point in the book it traces a most difficult moment in the life of the people in Moratinos, Peaceable Kingdom. When is your next book coming out, Rebekah?
I did, following the recommendation above by SYates. I will check to see if it is on the dedicated page.You can post a review on GoodReads, a fun reading-oriented website! FFOG has a dedicated page!

Thank you Kirkie for this post and review of Rebekah's book. I (Anne) have just finished reading it and thoroughly enjoyed it. I found it very moving in parts and would love to be able to look in on Rebekah and her albergue in Moratinos , when we are able to walk again.I was delighted to find this in a publication I subscribe to, and am happy to share it with you all. I can recommend the book, having thoroughly enjoyed it myself.
