In Jerusalem, the three monotheistic religions intersect in the land where God revealed Himself: not just adamah (earth, soil) but eretz, the Promised Land. A rich, vivid writing leads the reader to discover both celebrated sites and hidden corners, crossing political and cultural boundaries. Through the joy of celebration as in the unresolved pain of daily life, Jerusalem draws us back again and again - also to find ourselves. An exploration of signs of peace – the lace-makers of Ramallah, the extraordinary experience of Neve Shalom/Wahat Al-Salam – accompanies the previously unpublished stories of those who seek, choose and live in the holy city.  Forewords by Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Patriarch of the Latins in Jerusalem, and the Bishop of Mantua, Most Rev. Marco Busca.
