Where are you wanting to go? (8)

In this book, Dunne describes three journeys to Jerusalem: the first, a pilgrimage of the mind; the second, a pilgrimage of the heart; and the third, a pilgrimage of the soul. Writing in an almost musical voice, he comes back over and over to themes developed in earlier chapters to orchestrate a most insightful story that ends with a discovery of the home of "the human spirit in a life larger than life." As with most of his books, the central issues are front and center: "Where do you come from?" and "Where are you going?" And he asks this of Jews, Muslims, and Christians in this city that is so sacred to these religions. Read this book and you'll be considering whether the "home" you came from is the "home" you are going to. A timely book for all. Highly recommended.
