In From Eden to Heaven: Spiritual Formation for the Adventurous, author Kelly Pigott describes the journey to authentic faith using the language of pilgrimage, or perigrinatio, that path that all believers travel as they seek to follow Jesus, mature in their faith, and explore their most common fears and deepest questions:
What does it mean to follow Christ? Is this all there is?
How do I keep going?
Who am I-and who has God designed me to be?
Enriched by the author's superb storytelling and warm style, From Eden to Heaven provides pastoral guidance steeped in church and biblical history-along with journaling exercises and relevant additional reading-all intended to offer both challenges and guideposts along the path to authentic spiritual transformation.

Kelly Pigott is a professor in the Logsdon School of Theology at Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, Texas, where he teaches courses in church history, ministry, and spiritual formation. He has served for more than 25 years as a pastor, currently serving two congregations.
