The Call of Kilimanjaro

The Call of Kilimanjaro
Finding Hope Above the Clouds

By: Jeff Belanger

...that's the only way I know how to reach the top: one step, then another. 

After his brother-in-law Chris passed away, Jeff decided to take the trip of a lifetime, both in honor of Chris and in pursuit of clarity about his own life and goals. The Call of Kilimanjaro is a day-by-day record of Belanger's ascent to the peak of Africa's highest mountain.

By turns contemplative and irreverent, joyful and thoughtful, boyish and wise, this is a book for all ages and a powerfully spiritual memoir for armchair travelers. By example, Belanger teaches us to take stock of our accomplishments, eye the lofty goals we've placed in front of ourselves, and push higher than we've ever dared, turning an honest eye toward past, present, and future, through the end of life and beyond.

Listen to Jeff discuss his climb to the summit of Kilimanjaro on Darkness Radio
