Summary:
The tiny, arid Greek island of Patmos is one of the most sacred
places in the Christian world, and a place of bewitching power, where
people come for a brief summer visit and end up returning, year after
year, for the rest of their lives. In A Place of Healing for the
Soul, BBC commentator Peter France - who arrived on the island a
hardened skeptic - tells how he came to change his life perspective.
Learning from the island's gregarious inhabitants and its religious
eccentrics-hermits, ascetics, monks, and nuns - he discovered the
pleasure and security of living simply and doing without, in a
timeless realm where history, myth, and spirituality are endlessly
alive.
