Closer to Christ
“Books that inspire, people who connect, and stories that journey beyond the pages.”
This 20-minute documentary captures the spirit of community at the Book Fair hosted by Our Lady of Peace, where locals gather to explore new worlds through books, share personal stories, and discover the meaning behind David Sinclair’s journey and personal struggle on the St James Way, as told through his book on the Camino, ‘More Than Just A Walk’.
