The Holy Land is a treasured unity of body and soul, a place where the life of grace is grounded in the reality of the everyday physical world. Inspired by the artist's visit and by the author's sabbatical there, this is a meditation on the Holy Land as presented through word and image. The black-and-white drawings illustrate both biblical locations and contemporary life in the Middle East, while the scripture-based reflections provide inspiration for contemplation. With spare poetic text and evocative drawings, Holy Land considers such traditional sites as Jerusalem, the Basilica at Nazareth, the church at Bethlehem, the Jordan, the Damascus Gate, the Sea of Galilee, Calvary, the Holy Sepulchre, and more. It is an ideal text for helping make the transition from tourist to pilgrim. In addition, the book is designed with ample white space to become a meditative diary on one's experiences, memories, or plans. This is the perfect book for past and future visitors to the Holy Land.
