Pilgrim Places Holy Lives
Pilgrim Places, Holy Lives explores how the Christian faith took root in Anglo-Saxon England, and how those who responded to it can still inspire and encourage us today.
Through eight places of spiritual awakening and the saints associated with them, this full-colour devotional booklet offers 24 days of Bible readings, reflections, questions and prayers on the ancient practice of pilgrimage.
Each week focuses on two saints who dedicated their lives to God and shared the gospel with others:
- the Venerable Bede of Durham;
- Bertha of Canterbury;
- Cuthbert of Lindisfarne;
- Cedd of Lastingham;
- Frideswide of Oxford;
- Etheldreda of Ely;
- Alcuin of York;
- Hilda of Whitby.
Pilgrim Places, Holy Lives will help you to see the saints not merely as remarkable people from the past but as fellow travellers on the pilgrim journey who can shape our identity, our worship, and our witness to the world today.
Contributors include Sarah Mullally, Stephen Cottrell, Dee Dyas, James Shelton, Sammi Tooze, Sally Welch, Jenny Wright and Alexandra Zhirnova.
