The Life You Save May Be Your Own: An American Pilgrimage by Paul Elie

5.0

Paul Elie really put together a well-crafted book. He wrote very honestly about each of his subjects. I enjoyed the emphasis on faith and art and pilgrimage. The book was incredibly interesting and thoughtful, but I have to say that the last chapter really did it for me. He pulls everything together without being trite or oversimplifying the religious experience of any of the writers. It was an honest look at what it means to have faith and how that looks different for different people. I highly recommend this to EVERYONE.
