This book follows two intelligent, well-read men, as they make eleven religious pilgrimages between the years of 1996 and 2017. It is written from a Catholic/Orthodox perspective. Every time I picked up the book to read another chapter, I felt such a deep calming peacefulness. The style in which it was written makes it a relaxing read. It is full of interesting historical and cultural information. This is a solid 4 star book. Perhaps some Catholics might consider it a 5 star read. But I think anyone even a little bit interested in Christianity, History, Travel, or Culture would enjoy this book. There is a lot here to enjoy. ( )Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Member Giveaways geschrieben. I received this book through LT for my honest review. I really enjoyed reading about the pilgrimages these two men took. The authors descriptive writing style had me picturing everything he described. I also learned a lot about the history of the places they visited, and enjoyed hearing about the different foods and cultures of the people. I'm going to pass it along to a Pastor friend of mine. I think he will enjoy it as well. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Member Giveaways geschrieben. I was recommended this book by a friend, and it turns out I enjoyed it a lot better than I excpeced. It had a lot of interesting content that was very intriguing. I read it in about 3 hours, so I would recommend for anyone looking for a quick, enlightening read! Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Two middle-aged men, fast friends, make eleven foreign trips--pilgrimages you might call them --to parts of the world rich in the history of Christianity. The trips combine adventure, strenuous physical activity, exhilaration, discovery, and friendship. Three of the journeys were to Western Europe; six were to Eastern Europe and the Balkans and two to the Middle East. The trips were spontaneous and unplanned, often requiring improvisation along the way. Told in a lighthearted and often amusing style, An Unlikely Pilgrim provides a vivid and colorful picture of parts of the world often out of the range of American tourists, but deep in both ancient and current geopolitical, historical, and cultural wealth.
