Hiking the Holy Mountain<\/strong>\u00a0a Talk by John McKinney (Keynote, adjustable length)<\/p>\n \u201cWe can’t thank you enough for your exceptional presentation. You inspired many with your experiences on Mount Athos, and stories of the miracle you received.\u201d\u2014Judie Christopoulos, President,\u00a0Philoptochos Society, St. Sophia Greek Orthodox Cathedral<\/em><\/p>\n “The presentation by John McKinney on \u201cHiking the Holy Mountain\u201d made to the Brothers of our local Chapter of AHEPA and subsequently to the parishioners of our St. Barbara Greek Orthodox Church was a beautiful and moving experience for all attendees. His book and talk wonderfully transforms doubt into faith.\u2014Ernest Kolendrianos, MD,\u00a0AHEPA Chapter 243<\/em><\/p>\n “Hiking the Holy Mountain\u201d is John\u2019s most popular talk. While the \u2018plot\u2019 and colorful cast of Greek monks in \u201cHiking the Holy Mountain\u201d seem like they came from a movie script, this is very much a true story! Audiences love this tale of ancient traditions, modern-day faith and family.<\/p>\n \u201cI was a reluctant pilgrim to say the least,\u201d John admits. \u201cBut one thing I\u2019ve learned from all my time on the trail is that on this amazing path we call life, we\u2019re often compelled to change direction.\u201d<\/p>\n
