Synopsis: Rome: A Pilgrim's Guide to the Eternal City is not a
travel book; it is a pilgrim's guide to the city of Rome and its
most ancient churches. In addition to helpful descriptions of the
primary monuments and churches of Rome, this book will give the
reader just enough historical background to enhance the spiritual
nature of a trip to the Eternal City. Along with the description of
each church, Papandrea includes prayers from the ancient church,
and across the span of the history of Christianity, in order to
facilitate prayer and meditation in the very sites that have been
considered holy ground for over a millennium. Over one hundred
photographs are included, not only to help the reader use this book
as a guide in Rome, but also to make the book a valuable devotional
aid both before and after the trip. Coming back from Rome after
using this book, the reader will find that Rome has become a second
home. Endorsements: "There are many guidebooks to Rome, but this is
the one true pilgrim guide. It has been almost a half-century since
the last great one was published, and Rome has changed much since
then. Christian travelers have been in dire need of this book. A
pilgrim should always travel light, but never be without
Papandrea's Rome. It goes deep in history and still deeper in true
piety." --Mike Aquilina, author of The Fathers of the Church and
many other books Author Biography: James L. Papandrea, PhD, is
