This was a truly beautiful book, both in his poetic descriptions of the lands he journeys through, and in his authentic thoughts on the Christian faith. I love people like Timothy Egan, who see the beauty and value of religion, and yet are also honest about its pitfalls and mistakes. Some favorite quotes from this book: \”All religion is informed by myth, as are most cultural bonds, from Ulysses to Game of Thrones. \’Mythology is not a lie,\’ said Joseph Campbell. \’Mythology is poetry, it\’s metaphysical. It has been well said that mythology is the penultimate truth – penultimate because the ultimate cannot be put into words.\’\” Until atheism can tell a story, it will always have trouble packing a house.

So Ive basically been on the same journey but while still working and reading books like these to help me find my way. The picture he paints around every corner made me want to jump on a plane and take the pilgrimaged myself. But like I said-Im doing that from the USA in my headphones. Wonderful insight to the atrocities of Christianity while holding tight that those were never the reaches of Jesus. Didnt want it to end.

I love to hear Egan talk… off the cuff, but you BLEW a good story trying to read it yourself! Stick to writing, thats your skill.

What an excellent book! I am so glad that I listened to this on audible, I felt I was able to feel like I was walking along with the author. I too , like the author, have a questioned my Catholic beginnings. What an amazing pilgrimage to experience. Unfortunately, I do not believe that I will ever be able to do the pilgrimage the way Mr. Egan did, but I truly felt I was going along with him. I have been to Rome and have seen many of the sites that the author talked about. Thank you for such an enlightening and historic experience!

What a wonderful book, even for us agnostics. From NYTimes columnist Timothy Egan. Full of interesting history, geography, and deep spirituality.
