The Holy Land Today

Description

This book is both a guidebook and the account of a pilgrimage, although it does not follow the usual style of either. It is the outcome of a number of visits to the Holy Land, to the places where Jesus lived and suffered. The privilege of such an experience awakened in Mother Basilea the desire to paint for others the picture of Jesus Christ - in His words and actions, in His love and suffering - as it comes to life again today against the historical background of many places mentioned in the Gospels. This is what this book seeks to provide for those who take it as their companion on a journey to the Holy Land. It is also written for those who have no opportunity for such a journey, but who are seeking to follow the footsteps of Jesus in spirit.
