Just out of university, Charles Guilhamon and his friend Gabriel de Lépinau decide to take a year out to tour the world by bike. With a budget of a few euros a day, their travels bring them out of their comfort zone and into contact with people living in isolated or persecuted Christian communities in Syria, Iraq, India, China (Tibet), Thailand, the Amazon (Brazil), Senegal and Algeria.

With a delightfully ironic sense of humour, Guilhamon’s vivid storytelling, intelligent analysis and authentic testimonies make for a hugely enjoyable read. In the best tradition of the travelogue, this is a true story well told. Cycling Out of the Comfort Zone concludes with an Afterword on recent developments in Syria and Iraq.
Charles Guilhamon is a graduate of the prestigious ESSEC business school in Paris and a successful entrepreneur. All royalties are going to LaBach, an organization dedicated to encouraging ‘Christian adventure’ by providing funding, contacts and media training.

I hope that this book may help us, like Charles and Gabriel and the Christian communities they encountered, to live our lives more daringly, openly, generously and faithfully.

- From the Foreword by Rob Lilwall, adventurer, author and speaker

an extraordinary odyssey

- Church Times

vivid storytelling
I intend to read it again as a devotional, allowing the stories and testimonies to change me and my outlook
