France, Peter : A Place of Healing for the Soul : Patmos

Atlantic Monthly Pr., New York, New York, U.S.A., 2002

ISBN 0871138506

The tiny, arid Greek island of Patmos is one of the most sacred places in the Christian world, and a place of bewitching power, where people come for a brief summer visit and end up returning, year after year, for the rest of their lives. In A Place of Healing for the Soul, BBC commentator Peter France--who arrived on the island a hardened skeptic--tells how he came to change his life perspective. Learning from the island's gregarious inhabitants and its religious eccentrics--hermits, ascetics, monks, and nuns--he discovered the pleasure and security of living simply and doing without, in a timeless realm where history, myth, and spirituality are endlessly alive.220p. Proof /ARC copy. Book. Book Condition: As New. Binding: Soft cover
