Among the Shrines of Jesus and Mary

About the Book

Among the Shrines of Jesus and Mary is a compilation of the author’s visits to various apparition sites of Jesus or Mary. A veteran traveler for many years, he eventually decided to gear his travels toward “pilgrimaging,” concentrating especially on some of the most recent apparition places, visiting well over forty different sites.

Each chapter begins with a description of the apparitions and messages of each place, then continues with the author’s travel experiences (getting there, people and places experienced on the way), and finally, descriptions of the shrine itself.

This book is intended to be a combined travelogue-spiritual journal, done in a light manner, but with an overall religious tone.
