Rediscover the Life-Giving Practice of PilgrimageIn times past, those seeking wholeness and wisdom set out on a journey to sacred places--thin places--to walk a path that mirrored their inner exploration. But how does one approach such a journey in our day when travel is faster, cheaper, and more performative than ever? Seeking Thin Places recaptures the sacred art of pilgrimage as a powerful path for transformation if we learn to go slowly, listen deeply, and encounter our soul more fully. Blending spiritual reflection with travelogue, Jeff Mount takes us to barren deserts, ancient forests, and monastic ruins. Join him as he discovers how pilgrimage can help us make huge decisions, usher in new stages of life, give us rest from world-weariness, connect us to beauty, honor suffering, heal trauma, and uncover deeper life meaning. Along the way, Jeff shares hard-earned wisdom and gentle guidance for those who want to travel with purpose and intention, whether on a grand trip overseas or a weekend retreat across town. Once you've set forth, you'll never see travel the same way again.
