In an age of tourism, the great challenge is to see ourselves at a deeper level: the dimension of pilgrimage. Being a pilgrim might involve a journey to distant places associated with God-revealing events, but it has more to do with simply living day by day in a God-attentive way. Jim Forests book assists the reader to see ones life as an opportunity for pilgrimage, whether in places as familiar as your living room or walking the pilgrim path to Santiago de Compostela. Drawing on the wisdom of the saints and his own wide-ranging travels, Forest leads us to a range of ""thin places,"" including Iona, Jerusalem, the secret annex of Anne Frank, the experience of illness, the practice of hospitality, and other places and occasions where we may find ourselves surprised by grace.

Seller's Description:
Very Good. True to the hospitality it celebrates, Jim Forest's new book quietly and gently welcomes you into its precincts. Short, richly anecdotal chapters proceed from descriptions of the literal elements of pilgrimage (the road, walking, praying, relics, silence, hospitality) to a spiritual expansion of their meaning until, ultimately, pilgrimage embraces all of life. We have only to open our eyes, to become aware of what we are doing, and a flower growing between the cracks of a sidewalk in a seedy part of the city can become an epiphany of beauty that transforms our trip to the grocery store into pilgrimage. An encounter with a stranger, if subsumed in a moment in which we consider that strange bearing Christ's image, becomes a place of pilgrimage as holy, in its way, as Mt. Sinai or Jerusalem. Even illness, as Forest relates from first-hand experience of kidney disease, can, with gratitude for small blessings and the large blessings of caregivers and considerate friends, take the shape of a journey. Properly attended, this book allows pilgrimage to become an interpretive tool that works its way into our perceptions, enabling us to recognize the Stranger of Emmaus as present in each moment, and authentically our own the scriptural designation of the Christian as a 'stranger and sojourner on the earth.
