Sacred Places is a stunning photographic journey to places considered sacred to people of ancient civilizations and increasingly to modern-day men and women. The sites included are associated with great religious or mythological events; they are hallowed burial grounds, manmade edifices and nature's rivers, mountains, and caves imbued with spiritual meaning. Interfaith in scope, the book relates the influences that make each historically and culturally significant and explores how a combination of natural landscape and man-built edifices and artistic endeavors converge to make the sacred manifest. Featuring hundreds of beautiful photographs, this is an uplifting and magnificent blend of religion, culture, history, and travel that is at once informative, inspirational, and spiritual.
