Editorial Reviews

Review
"The Pilgrim's Italy is a joyous addition to the growing literature of soulful travel guides. I recommend it to anyone who wants to turn his or her travels into a sacred journey."

Review
"Pilgrims are not tourists. They have come, quietly and humbly, to seek the holy and enter more deeply into God’s Blessedness. The Heaters have found this stillness for themselves and here set out to share its essentials with anyone who earnestly seek God." -- Sister Wendy Beckett, Author/PBS Host

“...a joyous addition to the growing literature of soulful travel guides. I recommend it.” -- Phil Cousineau, author of The Art of Pilgrimage and The Book of Roads --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book to Take With You in Italy - Religious Pilgrim of Not, July 25, 2004
By Juliana LHeureux "Maine Writer" (Topsham, Maine United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It really never occurred to me that I might use The Pilgrim's Italy: A Travel Guide to the Saints as an actual guide book to understand the religious culture of Italy. Then, my husband and I found ourselves charmed and immersed in the religious culture of the exquisite Italian countryside (and cities) where we found our unlikely travel companion in this book to be invaluable. For example, as foot tourists in Northern Italy, we were rescued by The Pilgrim's Guide from our destination dilemma when we found ourselves at the train station in Menestra instead of Venice! Thankfully, The Pilgrim's Guide was very helpful. The book says, when you are in Mesestra, you still must take another train to get into Venice. Why can't other travel books be so simple and specific? One might also read The Pilgrim's Italy for its delightful short biographies of Italy's most popular (and plentiful!) saints, but it's an inspirational read as well as a marvelous travel book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Spirited Travel Book, June 6, 2004
By Rick Johnston (Santa Rosa, CA United States) - See all my reviews
We found The Pilgrim's Italy a wonderful travel companion. It's engagingly written with lots of useful information; a book which is both useful for travel and fun to read. The authors provide all the details for getting around, and, on a deeper level, convey the spirit of visiting these holy places. Pilgrim's Italy is a wonderful book.
