Bill's Holy Land Pilgrimage Kit was created for a pilgrimage group wanting insight and personal growth as they prepared for a Holy Land Pilgrimage to walk where Jesus walked and see what Jesus saw. Portions of the Guide are from other sources, which are noted in the Footnotes and Bibliography. The resources were prepared by an active Episcopal rector and two retired Presbyterian pastors. The objective of publishing the Guide, newsletter shells, and six devotional lessons is to help other groups planning such a pilgrimage.
Bill's Holy Land Pilgrimage Kit includes:
- A Backgrounder Syllabus to the Holy Land- includes an index, information on Holy Land sites and cities, a scripture guide to the sites and cities, a map, footnotes, and a bibliography (The Syllabus includes more than 70 pages; it may be the most comprehensive backgrounder you will ever find).
