Nonfiction: The Art of Pilgrimage: The Seeker's Guide To Making Travel Sacred

The Art of Pilgrimage: The Seeker's Guide To Making Travel Sacred

I read this book because I love travel, yes love, not like. I also understand that travel changes people over time and in itself can be a very spiritual experience. The author of this book, Phil Cousineau, also understands this point and has traveled many places all over the world in a spiritual journey. 
Throughout the book he gives advice on people wanting to make a spiritual pilgrimage, and gives details on what happened to him. There are photographs that show popular pilgrimage sites, as well as quotes from famous travels from before. I give this book 5/5 stars because the author shows personal experience along with details from other travelers. He gives advice but doesn't talk down to the reader.

"Geared toward the modern-day pilgrim looking for inspiration and spiritual tools for the road, The Art of Pilgrimage weaves stories, myths, parables, and quotations from famous travelers of the past with practical suggestions and accounts of people on the sacred way today."

Books I'll Be Posting In The Future

Hello :)
I haven't been posting that often recently and have decided that my blog needs a little more direction. I was posting just any nonfiction or fiction book reviews. 
From now on my reviews will be on books of the spiritual nature. These might be fiction, or nonfiction. They might be new age or Christian, Muslim or Hindu books. The books will be literature pertaining to spirituality, whatever the religion or stance may be.
I'll try to post at least one or two posts a week in the near future.
Good Day and Good Reading
