The word "place" often means much more than a point on a map or a simple set of geographical coordinates. A "place" can be full of meaning and symbolic importance that set it apart from other locations. This has been the case with the Holy Land ever since the beginning of the Christian era, and it is in this sense that the present volume considers the "place" where God has revealed himself to man over the centuries. This book contains a series of meditations that take you from Bethlehem to Emmaus, walking the reader through the key moments of the life of Jesus Christ by remembrance and prayer in the places where, tradition tells us, he lived and worked. This book is an opportunity to rediscover the beating heart of our world, and resist the centrifugal forces of distraction and comfort that keep man away from his true center.
