Eternal Pilgrim

A memoir of faith, reimagined

About

At eighteen, Marti Jonsson walked away from Christianity, unable to reconcile its teachings on Hell and judgment. But now, forty years later, she’s living in the heart of Rome, and the Catholic Jubilee Year is about to begin. She wonders: was there something of value in the faith she left behind? Something worth going back for? Marti decides to become a Jubilee pilgrim, to explore Christianity’s ancient roots and confront the ghosts of her past. When unforeseen challenges arise, her search takes on a new urgency. By the year’s end, she finds the sacred in unexpected places and discovers what remains of faith when fear, dogma, and certainty are stripped away.
