Review Teresa Tomeo, Catholic Radio & Television Host Pilgrimage Leader to Rome & The Vatican for over 10 Years "This book is at the top of my list as one of the most comprehensive Catholic travel guides to Rome. I especially love the stunning images, interesting facts about the saints and our Catholic faith, as well as all of the travel tips included in this book. I am taking this book with me on all 4 of my pilgrimages to Rome this year." Steve Ray, Catholic Apologist & Pilgrimage Leader "If you take one book to Rome, take this one! If you want one book to help you through Rome and the Vatican, this is it. Loaded with information from a spiritual and historical point of view. Especially excellent for Catholic pilgrims. Full of pictures, facts, detailed and pertinent information. It is in my pack on every trip." From the Author Most tourists are fascinated by the brutal imperial history of Rome, or the artistic beauty of Renaissance Rome. But they and their guides often miss a more important story. Even before Rome destroyed Jerusalem's Temple in 70 AD, Saints Peter and Paul had arrived there, spreading the Gospel and establishing the foundation of Christ's Church. Because of their sacrifices, and those of countless other martyrs, our Christian heritage was nurtured and preserved in Rome. So, over the past twenty centuries, the Church has had to struggle through seemingly endless persecutions, fires, martyrdoms, earthquakes, plunders, and heresies. But by the grace of God, and the heroic virtue of saints, the Church has always prevailed. Today, for anyone who wishes to fully appreciate Christian history, the Eternal City is more than an interesting tourist destination. Rome is a holy, historic pilgrimage. From the Back Cover Rome bears witness to twenty tumultuous centuries of Christian history, like no other place. For today's faithful pilgrim, however, the Eternal City's abundance of sacred treasures can overwhelm, especially when so many tourist guides fail to focus on the faith. This is the indispensible Guide 4 Pilgrims on Rome and the Vatican. Whether travelling there or simply enjoying it from an armchair, pilgrims can experience the human drama that has always defined the Eternal City: from ancient emperors and martyrs, to Renaissance popes and artists, to the enduring legacy of Rome's architects and saints. Christianity has always demanded Rome's attention, just as Rome has commanded the world's. Regardless of the passing of brutal emperors and empires, however, the gates of Hell have not and shall not prevail against Christ's Church.
