In the Steps of the Master - Paperback

by H. V. Morton (Author)

Here, in the spirit of Bruce Feiler's beloved bestseller Walking the Bible, is a portrait of the Holy Land as a physical embodiment of faith. Dramatically conjuring the beauty of Israel's countryside, In the Steps of the Master also evokes the all-consuming passions and deep-rooted mysteries of Jerusalem -- and while much has changed, as Morton says, the essential nature of the sites he visits has not.
