Review:
Mentioned after Peter Stanford's article in Catholic Herald, September 2009.
Mentioned in article about John Paul II
Extract published in The Daily Telegraph 19 February, 2010.
"Stanford's delightful book is more an encounter with pilgrims than with Christ and his saints...His fellow pilgrims show themselves in perfectly caught fragments, and these frequently difficult travels tell one more about today's religious faith than many a church report." (Ronald Blythe; Church Times)
"Eight pilgrimages which are in turn entertaining, down to earth, amusing and informative make this a fascinating read." (The Book Seller)
"[Stanford] is a wholly open-minded companion as he probes the growing desire for a greater connection to landscape, history and place in this timely investigation into what religion can be."
