Opis

This is a pilgrim's notebook. God is a mystery and that mystery continues to confound language. All we have at the end of any religious experience is the struggle to articulate what happened. These words are my own humble attempt to describe an experience with God. Jerusalem captivates our imaginations and forces us to ask harder questions about our lives. The following pages are expression of that imagination and those living questions. This book is an attempt to stumble through the overwhelming images that come from encounters with divine places. Ultimately, the faith life is found in those stumbles. Stumbling over our selves and the angels we will find that the holy tomb is empty. Now that we know empty we can understand full. "Empty is a perfect example of why making pilgrimage is one of the seven ancient disciplines of Christianity. In it, The Rev. Patrick Miller has given us a travelogue of the soul and body teaching each other as they travel along together on an arduous, but holy journey." Phyllis Tickle General Editor The Ancient Practices Series "The Zen philosopher, Suzuki states: "If it's not paradoxical, it's not true." Patrick Miller's Pilgrim Memoir, beautifully integrates the emptiness and fullness of the spiritual path. This work is a masterful journal of a journey, outward to the Holy Land, and inward to the place of soul." J. Pittman McGehee, author of The Invisible Church and Finding Spirituality Where You Are
