Reviews
Most of us won't be traveling to the numerous destinations eloquently discussed in The Holy Land: An Armchair Pilgrimage , but from the comfort of our homes, we can sit back, enjoy the ride, and benefit from the author's wisdom. Fr. Mitch Pacwa, S.J., shares his vast pilgrimage experiences along with his expertise on Church teaching to bring us this masterpiece. I highly recommend this stunning book.--Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle, EWTN TV host of Catholic Mom's Cafe and author of The Miraculous Medal: Stories, Prayers, and Devotions
