Review
Mentioned after Peter Stanford's article in Catholic Herald, September 2009.
Mentioned in article about John Paul II
Extract published in The Daily Telegraph 19 February, 2010.
"Stanford's delightful book is more an encounter with pilgrims than with Christ and his saints...His fellow pilgrims show themselves in perfectly caught fragments, and these frequently difficult travels tell one more about today's religious faith than many a church report." (Ronald Blythe; Church Times)
"Eight pilgrimages which are in turn entertaining, down to earth, amusing and informative make this a fascinating read." (The Book Seller)
"[Stanford] is a wholly open-minded companion as he probes the growing desire for a greater connection to landscape, history and place in this timely investigation into what religion can be."
(The Metro)

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Peter Stanford makes a modern-day pilgrimage around some of the most ancient religious sites in Britain, to take the spiritual temperature of an age often described as secular and sceptical. Do the present-day pilgrims he meets en route go simply in search of history, or does their journey have another significance rooted in the unholy times in which we live now? Are their numbers growing as more conventional church-going declines? "The Extra Mile" is the evocative, sometimes humorous, sometimes challenging story of one individual's pilgrimage in search of faith in Britain today. As he walks between Neolithic stones, ruined abbeys and miracle wells, Stanford explores the link between past and present belief and reflects on the spiritual state we are in. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR002512071
