Overview

The author's vast knowledge of the spiritual history of Britain shines through the stories and history that are an intricate part of this book. This is a journey through spiritual heritage of our sacred land and as we read about the places selected here we can travel in our imaginations down the lanes and by-ways of our pastoral and religious past, and as we do, we will come understand that there is more to a church, a shrine or a place of worship than an altar, a baptismal font or a burial place. The stories and background of these places bring them alive with a spiritual fervour and magic that transcends a more ordinary and mundane appreciation of their everyday existence and as we follow the author from church and shrine and from synagogue and stone circle we will come to see and understand what these place mean to us and meant to our forebears and what we will leave as a legacy to our children and our children's children. As we read, our minds will be transported from church to shrine back through the history of our sacred and spiritual history where we can in our mind's eye, walk with saints and sinners, priests and paupers, poets, peasants and kings. And as we follow the author on his personal journey we can appreciate what he has accomplished and what great work there is still to do.
