Summary of Timothy Egan's A Pilgrimage to Eternity

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The passage to eternity begins on the Piccadilly Line to Cockfosters. You should be purged of the trivial and juvenile, and in pilgrim mode. You've prepared for a journey of more than a thousand miles by walking hills and stairs, by breaking in shoes and building calf muscles, by shedding weight and inconvenient thoughts. #2 The UK is also losing its belief in God.
The kingdom is fast becoming a nation without a religion, and it is predicted that within fifty years, the religion brought here by the bones of Saint Pancras will become statistically invisible. #3 I want to experience the Church of England's weak faith before it's gone. I'm not a theologian, but I feel driven by something I read from Saint Augustine: Men go abroad to admire the heights of mountains, the mighty waves of the sea, the broad tide of rivers, and yet they pass over the mystery of themselves without a thought. #4 I began my journey by plane, with all the world's known knowledge in my hand.
But I felt that so much was still unknown, and I was excited to find out what it was.
