Here, by one of the world's greatest travel writers, 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 from the days of Solomon and Jesus, the essential nature of the sites Morton visits has not. Morton's writing transcends travelogue in its portrayal of faith in a place where belief is made so concrete...and in its resonant tale of an intensely personal pilgrimage.
