The way in which he narrates the tale is personal and engaging. The only reason I indicated four stars is that, unless one is interested in reading travel narratives, it might seem a bit boring. However, it is beautifully written and I am enjoying it. I have not quite finished reading it so cannot comment further. Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. I just finished this seventh book in the ancient practices series in the last quarter of my teenage son's bone cancer treatment miles away from home. I found this book to be deeply healing.
It gave me new words for this journey. This is easily one of the best books I've ever read, and I am honored to be the first person to give it a 5-star rating. I've read all other 7 titles in the Ancient Practices Series, and for me this is the best. In the foreword to the book, editor Phyllis Tickle warns that every single person who reads the book will totally disagree with at least something that the author writes.
Nothing wrong with experiencing God in the midst of whatever journey we find ourselves per se. However, I found it a bit confusing and hard to follow at times, but that I think had a lot to do with me and not the book itself. Desire of The Everlasting Hills, Paperback.

The Ancient Practices There is a hunger in every human heart for connection, primitive and raw, to God.
Judging from other reviews, she may be right. I imagine some young earth creationists will cringe when Foster writes about the humans who inhabited the Gargas caves in the French Pyrenees some 27, years ago. Other Christians might struggle with the author referring to our "hippie" God.
Some may have a problem with Foster describing Buddhist, Hindu, or Muslim pilgrimage. One reviewer is disappointed by the author advocating that we replace the word "Christian" with something else. But the fact is, we HAVE wrecked that word by our actions as a collective body of believers.
Contrary to what the reviewer says, Foster is not looking for a more "cool" term. He simply wants to make the term more accurate to what the Bible actually describes as a person who follows Christ. And as Foster points out, in most versions of the Bible the word "Christian" is only mentioned 3 times. Also, Foster isn't calling for every single person to get up and take a 2-week pilgrimage somewhere.

At the end of the book he talks about a woman who's bound to a wheelchair because of multiple sclerosis, and he has nothing but praise for her even though she can't physically walk on a pilgrimage. Foster's section on Cain as a wanderer is brilliant, and well worth reading several times. Chapter 3 is perhaps the best in the book. Foster points out more than once that the journey is more important than arrival.
The other point that resonated with me the most is that.. The Sacred Journey "It is time for me to pass from the shelter of a habitation. To journey as a pilgrim over the waves of the bold and splendid sea Time to deliberate how I may find the great Son of Mary. I've had it in my possession for some while, but haven't brought myself to sit down with it and read it.
The reason for my procrastination is somewhat ironic to me. I would prefer to believe that pilgrimage in the Christian sense is more allegorical than it is literal Also avoid publisher series, unless the publisher has a true monopoly over the "works" in question. So, the Dummies guides are a series of works. But the Loeb Classical Library is a series of editions, not of works. Home Groups Talk Zeitgeist.
