"Many people have a to-do list, but whose list includes "Walk Across America"? Answer: Robert Schoen's list! On God's Radar follows the ups and downs of his trip along unfriendly sidewalks and impassable roadways; nights in crude campsites, odd motels, and the backyards of friendly strangers; and 25-mile days walking through heat, cold, wind, and rain. Most importantly, we meet the diverse and inviting characters Schoen encountered along his journey."
John Tschirhart, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, University of Wyoming
"Bob Schoen's walk across America tells a story of fierce perseverance and a willingness to connect across cultural, political, and religious lines. Mostly, though, it's a master class in curiosity about what the next day might bring."
Sara Klein, President, Temple Sinai, Oakland, California
"In an era when some people fear walking out their front door, Robert walked across the country, revealing the generosity and compassion that still live in America. He truly embodies an "act young to be young" philosophy, and shows that it's never too late to get fit and live life to its fullest!"
