A LOVELY COFFEE TABLE BOOK

While the places throughout the world that are deemed holy or sacred by different cultures may not be considered so by all, each place holds its own beauty, mystery and appeal. "The Atlas of Sacred Places/Meeting Points of Heaven and Earth" is a full-color guide to 30 sacred sites, including Mount Sinai, the Dome of the Rock, and Lourdes. Illustrated with magnificent photography, this volume describes why each place is considered sacred and offers prospective pilgrims suggestions on what to see when they visit.
