Synopsis

The Christian spiritual journey is a pilgrimage to wholeness, a search for home that is in God. In this classic work on contemporary spiritual living, Alan Jones explores the various parts of the pilgrimage home. Using literature, art, and biblical texts as illustrations, he explores our search for light and love, repentance, and forgiveness in the context of the Passion and Easter stories.

An excellent book for group study during Lent and Easter, this new edition includes study questions at the end of each chapter. Passio for Pilgrimage is also provocative reading for individuals at any time of the year who want to understand the Christian journey more deeply.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

This classic work on contemporary spiritual living explores the mysterious cycle 'of wounding and healing, of dying and rising' that marks the pilgrimage of wholeness. Alan Jones elucidates an inspiring vision by tapping into the rich wells of literature, art, biblical texts, and experience.

“Jones has written a fervent, beautifully expressed journal...Not just a Lent-Easter book, but a book for all seasons, to be re-read and dipped into over and over.”

“[Alan Jones] is a consummate storyteller and his stories illuminate our human condition as they speak of God's passion for us meeting our passion for God...Tell[s] the old, old story and tell[s] it so well, that it seems new and yet familiar – setting us on our pilgrimage home.”
ARCHBISHOP DESMOND TUTU, Nobel Laureate
