Propelled by a desire for the sacred, spiritual seekers of the
Middle Ages were masters of pilgrimage, dedicated to their journeys
of religious devotion. Their epic voyages took them across
continents and treacherous mountain passages, and were undertaken
with a keen awareness of the possible perils of the journey. Still,
by faith, they went on pilgrimage in hopes of tracing the steps of
Jesus in the holy city of Jerusalem.In 3,000 Miles to Jesus Lisa
Deam invites us to embrace the adventure of spiritual pilgrimage in
our everyday lives. Bringing alive the rich stories of medieval
pilgrims, she offers an intimate look at these quests for the
sacred, helping us draw rich application for our walks of faith
today. To take this road, we won't have to give up flushing
toilets, warm beds, or cell phones. But we are invited to travel
the rugged terrain of faith: journeying in risk and adventure
through unfamiliar territory, across the unknown seas of the
spiritual life, meeting life's difficult passages of loss,
accompanied by the temptation to turn back even as we march on. In
meeting challenges in the wise company of the ancient pilgrims, we
learn hope and resolve as we walk a wild and wonderful way to a
city that shimmers beyond a horizon we cannot yet see. We are
headed for the Jerusalem of our hearts.When we understand the risks
taken and the courage and conviction driving the medieval pilgrim,
a bigger picture of a lifelong journey of faith comes into view. We
are opened up to the sacred world before us in new and unexpected
ways.
