The greatest story ever told is of God becoming human in Jesus Christ to offer us a transforming relationship with him. Pilgrim Places, Holy Lives explores how this amazing story took root in Anglo-Saxon England, and how those who responded to it can still inspire and encourage us today.

Through eight places of spiritual awakening and the saints associated with them, this full-colour devotional booklet offers 24 days of Bible readings, reflections, questions and prayers on the ancient practice of pilgrimage. From Durham to Canterbury, Lindisfarne to Lastingham, it will help you reflect on what it means to live as a pilgrim on a purposeful journey through life.

Each week focuses on two saints who dedicated their lives to God and shared the gospel with others: the Venerable Bede of Durham; Bertha of Canterbury; Cuthbert of Lindisfarne; Cedd of Lastingham; Frideswide of Oxford; Etheldreda of Ely; Alcuin of York; and Hilda of Whitby. Pilgrim Places, Holy Lives will help you to see the saints not merely as remarkable people from the past but as fellow travellers on the pilgrim journey who can shape our identity, our worship, and our witness to the world today.
