In his The Pilgrim's New Guide to the Holy Land, second edition, Father Doyle writes from the perspective that there are major differences between visiting the Holy Land as a pilgrim and as a tourist, or even as a student of history or archaeology. While providing basic information about the sacred places, he focuses on how a pilgrim may experience a renewal of faith that is enriched by prayerful attention to the Bible and to worship.

An Excellent Liturgy Accompaniment,
This review is from: The Pilgrim's New Guide to the Holy Land (Paperback)
I am leading a group of 48 people to the Holy Land and originally intended to compose a liturgy/sacred reading book for the group to use at each of the sites of our visit. I began to research all the relevant Scripture passages; for example, Elijah's battle with the Baals for our stop at Mt. Carmel; the Capernaum passages, etc. Then I discovered Fr. Doyle's book and Hallelujah! Saved me a ton of time. All the relevant Scripture references etc. and passages for all the key sites, along with appropos reflections, suitable hymns etc. This book is not an exegesis nor a history nor archeological text, but an excellent liturgical accompaniment.

Very Useful Guide,
By Constance J Munick (Irvine, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Pilgrim's New Guide to the Holy Land (Paperback)
I enjoyed reading this book. It's written by an insider, a priest, who has lived in the Holy Land, and knows it well. He is quick to point out why certain places are believed to be actual sites where events occurred and what not to believe. He includes appropriate hymns and prayers for the holy sites. It is written for those taking a spiritual journey to the Holy Land.

This review is from: The Pilgrim's New Guide to the Holy Land (Paperback)
An excellent source to bring with you on a trip to the Holy Land. We are going on Sept. 20, 2010 for 10 days and the priest who will be going with us suggested our getting this book and said it would be very helpful. Have gone through it and it sounds very helpful and clear and easy to understand.
