Religious expeditions of all faiths can be explored by reading this wonderfully illustrated work. Arranged as a pilgrimage, the chapters begin with "Longing" and "Getting Ready." Later they include "Doubt and Hope," and conclude with "Reflection and Redirection" and "Coming Home." Inserted into the narrative are double-page, first-person accounts and maps of modern pilgrimages. Usually, the featured sites are from religions that permit nonbelievers to participate. Creative page layouts draw readers into the text. Sometimes the print encircles a quote or meaningful symbol; often it surrounds a photo or map. Concise descriptions of each site and information about visiting it such as route, rules, dates, etc., are included. The resource list goes beyond the traditional bibliography as it includes names, addresses, and phone numbers of religious organizations throughout the world, which could provide a wealth of additional information for students of comparative religions.?
