Zsanett Nagy, 30, feels helpless and dissatisfied with her current engagements. In a sincere effort to correct her situation, she studies the Bible with a stronger desire to discover her life's purpose. Upon introspection, Zsanett identifies the source of her misery and decides to obey God's Word. She feels a calling for the Camino de Santiago while meditating. For Christians, the Camino de Santiago is a significant place of pilgrimage. It directs the seeker to the burial place of Saint James the Great, one of the apostles of Jesus Christ. Visitors follow the Camino Santiago for a variety of reasons. However, her sole motivation was a spiritual awakening. Zsanett Nagy decided to pen down her pre-, during-, and post-pilgrimage ideas in this book, Through the Way with God. The reader will gain insights from her experiences.

The book is an unfiltered expression of her thoughts. The 159 pages are broken down into 14 sections in the book and come across as genuine as can be. She talks about the breathtaking scenery she sees on the way. She frequently senses God's presence and feels that God is sending her signs to let her know He is with her, leading her, and protecting her. She does occasionally have these devilishly engulfing moments. She connects several additional lessons she picks up along the road to passages from The Bible, The Word of God. She elaborates on the emotion—good or bad—and her perception of each circumstance. It is a belief that a pilgrim's journey begins within and ends at the pilgrimage site. After enduring the physical and spiritual obstacles, does she reach her destination? To learn whether or not this trip was spiritually uplifting and why she feels that way, I advise you to read the book.

I treasured her experiences since I could identify with each one of them. While reading it and making my assessments, I felt I was also on a spiritual journey. I was glad to see that she was welcoming and never disparaged people of other faiths or lifestyles. She was there to feel closer and more connected to Him. My favorite chapters are those about trust and God knowing everything. Other chapters contain her opinions on love, donation, salvation, forgiveness, and other topics.

After everything I've said, I'd like to caution readers that the book is as unpolished as can be. The themes, her emotions, and the biblical texts flow one after the other with no formatting. Additionally, there are numerous grammar and spelling mistakes. The use of a few inappropriate words is another problem, which is why I advise reading the book only if you're an adult. To make this book more aesthetically pleasing and inviting to readers, I strongly recommend a re-edit and some basic formatting. It would be a shame if an ardently interested reader turned it down on these grounds. With the said changes, this book would have my highest rating. I'd give the book 3 out of 5 stars for the reasons listed.

I appreciate any way that people feel that they can get closer to God and what he wants. It is unfortunate, however, that it seemed so unfinished.

The fact that the topic does not suit me, but I understand the meaning of the spiritual sense of everything around us, I liked the way you presented the book and how you showed the points of strength and then the points that could improve the book. An honest and integrated review, well done Seetha

Although it may seem like a book for followers of 1 religion, spirituality is universal. Seems like a good attempt. Errors can be ignored if not hampering the reader's process. Thanks for your detailed review Seetha.

Zsanett seems to have a beautiful spiritual journey with God. Even though I like the book's length, I am hesitant due to the book's downsides. Nevertheless, I enjoyed your incredible review, Seetha!

This is not my first time reading a book about a normal person going from stressed and helpless to being in God's grace. You can feel the raw, unfiltered emotion from the author's narration.
I write the best reviews possible. :idea2:

This is a thoughtful and honest review. The spiritual themes like trust, forgiveness, and connection with God sound meaningful, and it’s good to know the book approaches different faiths with respect. The note on editing issues is also helpful. Thank you for sharing this! @Seetha E
