Practicing Pilgrimage by Brett Webb-mitchell, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Practicing Pilgrimage: On Being and Becoming God's Pilgrim People explores both the theological, cultural, and spiritual roots of Christian pilgrimage, and is a ""how-to"" book on doing pilgrimage in our suburban backyards, city streets, rural roads, churches, retreat centers, and our everyday life. Brett Webb-Mitchell takes the ancient practice of Christian pilgrimage and applies it to our contemporary lives.""This is a wonderful book, deep in its understanding that prayer is a journey-a step at a time. It is Bunyan's progress, updated, still Christian, Catholic and Protestant. At times it struck me as Buddhist. I can imagine anyone-religious or not-finding its insight into the moment under our feet, where we always find ourselves, as important as the place where we think we are headed.""-Richard Rodriguez, author of Darling: A Spiritual Biography Brett Webb-Mitchell is a pilgrim, speaker, writer, teacher, ordained Presbyterian pastor, parent, partner, and pet lover.
