This is a fascinating book highlighting many of the pilgrimage destinations in the world. It is a compilation of personal accounts of pilgrimage journeys of about twenty different people. It features colour and black and white photographs, drawings, sketches, symbols, strip maps. I found the layout design of the book rather confusing! Each story uses different fonts in different sizes with quotes jutting into the text, and some pages haave two columns of text and others one or three columns - very odd!

In spite of the odd design and layout it is a book you will refer to often as you dream of making pilgrimagees around the world.

YOUR CAMINO - a Lightfoot Guide to Practical Preparation for a Pilgrimage

I purchased this book to learn about the Road to Santiago, but I have read it cover to cover. It covers sacred pilgrimages made by believers of many religions and over most of the planet. The author shows respect for all seekers and pilgrimages, and explains their purposes so that I could understand why this pilgrimage was important to each faith. I really loved the practical information, such as the detailed maps of the route, and have referred back to many of the pilgrimages often. An outstanding collection for anyone who wants to understand more about the nature of the spiritual journey.
