"It is very rare to come across an idea that is fresh and innovative in a time of content abundance. I am struck by this project, The Fifth Gospel. I strongly endorse this project. I look forward to seeing this potentially brilliant series come to life in your hands."

“Five gospels record the life of Jesus.
Four you will find in books, and one you will find in the land they call Holy.
Read the fifth gospel and the world of the four will open to you.”
St. Jerome, Bethlehem Circa 390 CE
What is Pilgrimage?
Pilgrimage is a distinctive approach to travel that brings vivid engagement with a land, its peoples, and its ancient stories at a depth that can be called “soulful.”
Pilgrim Routes seeks to respond to the quest for journeys of deeper purpose, sacred awareness and meaningful engagement.
Richard LeSueur, Founder and President, Pilgrim Routes
