By the end of the journey in reading this book, my soul was awakened with fresh Easter hope. Journey to Jerusalem is a rich resource for personal prayer. I know preachers, teachers, spiritual directors and retreatants will also savor these reflections.

The Bible is steeped in meaning drawn from reflection on people, landscapes, events, and the full range of human experiences. In this everyday span of life, God's presence is detected. That is the convincing rationale for Fr. Mark Villano's attractive book of spiritual reflections that take their inspiration from the deep wellspring of biblical imagery. Accessible and inspiring, here is rich spiritual reading open to all.

This gem of a book challenges us in the spiritual journey to live at the depths—the core of our being.
