The Day the Ravens Died
This tale is of course fiction, well most of it is. As has been pointed out to me by people who know about these things, there is nothing in this book which serious terrorists could not do. Maybe not quite on the scale suggested here, but who knows? On the other hand, much of what was available to the security forces to help counter the attacks, either does not exist or they are not allowed to use. The levels of political and judicial interference are real enough, in real life these simply have to be lived with. Many of the problems in real life counter terrorism arise from the need of a given agency to score 'brownie points' to gain funding. This is a home grown political problem which is rapidly becoming endemic and can only lead to vital information being overlooked, the result of which may not be dead birds at the Tower of London but many dead people. Not the numbers of dead in this story, hopefully, but if it happens to be you or your family, then the numbers don't matter. Sleep well. Timothy Pilgrim.
A Pilgrimage to Eternity
From "the world's greatest tour guide," a deeply-researched, captivating journey through the rich history of Christianity and the winding paths of the French and Italian countryside that will feed mind, body, and soul (New York Times). "What a wondrous work! This beautifully written and totally clear-eyed account of his pilgrimage will have you wondering whether we should all embark on such a journey, either of the body, the soul or, as in Egan's case, both." --Cokie Roberts "Egan draws us in, making us feel frozen in the snow-covered Alps, joyful in valleys of trees with low-hanging fruit, skeptical of the relics of embalmed saints and hopeful for the healing of his encrusted toes, so worn ...
Pilgrim
Ageless. Sexless. Deathless. Timeless. Pilgrim is a man who cannot die, an astounding character in a novel of the cataclysmic contest between creation and destruction. Pilgrim is Timothy Findley’s masterwork, a finalist for the Giller Prize, and a national bestseller that has smashed the author’s own impressive sales records. It is 1912 and Pilgrim has been admitted to the Burghölzli Psychiatric Clinic in Zürich, Switzerland, having failed—once again—to commit suicide. Over the next two years, it is up to Carl Jung, self-professed mystical scientist of the mind, to help Pilgrim unlock his unconsciousness, etched as it is with myriad sufferings and hopes of history. Is Pilgrim mad, or is he condemned to live forever, witness to the terrible tragedy and beauty of the human condition? Both intimate and expansive in its scope, with an absorbing parade of characters—mythic, fictional and historical—Pilgrim is a fiercely original and powerful story from one of our most distinguished artists.

The Pilgrim Hypotesis
"America is a country with deep-seated roots of faith planted by pilgrims seeking religious independence. It was these men and women who paved the way for a free nation under God in this promised land--but what if those early voyagers were brought here for a much greater purpose? What if their arrival in this new land heralded the fulfillment of ancient prophecy, laying the foundation of a country that would allow for the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the beginning of the gathering of scattered Israel? In The Pilgrim Hypothesis, readers are presented with a gripping new investigation by best-selling author and historian Timothy Ballard as he uncovers what the early colonists--a people who believed themselves to be the 'New Israel'--may have known about their role in the restoration of the gospel. Delve into a complex history bridging the centuries and spanning the globe, as each clue leads to one compelling conclusion: history and scripture may be far more intertwined than you've ever realized."-- Provided by publisher.
One Step at a Time
Each year, tens of thousands of pilgrims walk el Camino de Santiago--the Way of St. James--a 500-mile route across northern Spain that has existed for over a thousand years. Tim Geoffrion, author of The Spirit-Led Leader, made this pilgrimage with his wife and teenage sons in 2006. He writes in One Step at a Time not about his own journey but about how God works in those who seek to be led by the Spirit. Using pilgrimage as a metaphor for the Spirit-led life, he offers his experiences, thoughts, and reflections as a catalyst for readers' own spiritual pilgrimage--the lifelong journey of growth into the life Christ intends for us. Geoffrion has written so that readers can learn to recognize G...
Contemporary Christian Travel
This book is the first to examine the depth, complexity and uniqueness of global Christian pilgrimage, travel and tourism, and how they manifest in terms of both supply and demand. It explores the places and spaces of production and consumption of this increasingly important tourism phenomenon. The volume considers the foundational elements of the attractiveness of places according to Christian thinking – spirit of place, scriptural connections, art and architecture, contrived/themed environments, programmed events, volunteer travel opportunities, and visiting local communities by way of solidarity tourism and mission work. It includes a wide range of examples from Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, Latin America and North America and will be of interest to researchers and students in religious studies, tourism, pilgrimage studies, geography, anthropology and Christianity studies.
