Sacred Earth: Places of Peace and Power by Sterling

A remarkable book!

I have a whole shelf of books on Sacred Places, but pride of place goes to Martin Gray's magnificent contribution to the appreciation of sacred sites. Martin's evocative photography inspires you and seems to evoke the subtle essence of the sites he has visited.
Sacred Earth is a book to be savoured slowly. It teaches us how to love and cherish this planet. It really is an outstanding contribution to the study of sacred sites and the mysteries they hold for us all.

Awesome and Inspirational! :)

This book "Sacred Earth" by Martin Gray is exceptional, inspiring, informative & ever so beautiful. I admire Martin for his dedication to travel the planet and share his lovely photographs, research and writing. My Senior friend, who no longer gets out much, enjoys the travels to the sacred sites sitting in her chair, in the comfort of her home. What a wonderful service he is providing. May this book travel to many homes on the planet. I enjoy my travels as well. This awesome book is a joy! :)

Delight for the senses, the mind, the heart, and the soul

Sacred Earth: Places of Peace and Power

Martin, for years I have been following your work with admiration and gratitude and know what tremendous hurdles you had to overcome to stay true to your divine calling, spiritual cause, and life's passion: to explore the sacred sites of this magnificent earth and to present them to us as gracious gifts by way of your moving, awe-inspiring photography accompanied by your insightful, perceptive, and multifaceted narrations. Graham Hancock's foreword is as stimulating and thought-provoking as are his books and TV documentaries. Your new book has particular value for those of us who believe in, have knowledge of, or who experience the realms of finer vibrational energies - call them mystical, sublime, transcendental, or divine.... Your book captures these dimensions in a unique and fulfilling way conveying a profound sense of wellbeing to the reader. If we had more enlightened sages like you, humans would be able to enjoy paradise on Earth. But since spirit is working through you in such a powerful and beautiful way, you are giving us a taste of it now and are paving the way for that future experience. You fulfill the soul's longing to touch the inner source of being which inspires, invigorates, and delights us. And you do it ever so gracefully. You make us immensely happy and I continue to deeply appreciate your work.

Meta View of Sacred Earth

Incredible insight and knowledge has gone into the lengthy research for this book. The writings exhibit a profound first-hand knowledge of the many diverse places on Earth the author has visited. It is reminiscent of the many beatiful books by the late Galen Rowell. The difference being the extensive coverage of almost any culture on Earth today. It is a fascinating journey around the world in words and pictures.

Product Description

Acclaimed photographer and anthropologist Martin Gray spent the last 20 years on an amazing pilgrimage: he visited 1,000 sacred sites in 80 countries around the world. His journey unfolds in a remarkable compilation of images that reveals just how devoutly pre-industrial cultures everywhere worshipped and respected our Earth. From the Western Wall to the Great Mosque of Damascus, Mt. Olympus to Assisi, Tibet’s Potala Palace to Hawaii’s Mauna Kea, Teotihuacán in Mexico to the Golden Temple in Amritsar, these are the awe-inspiring places from which all the world’s great religions sprang, along with our finest culture, art, and architecture. Gray’s stunning photographs and fascinating text provide unique insight into why these powerful holy places are the most venerated and visited sites on the entire planet. Maps adapted from the National Geographic Society show the locations of all the sites presented, and a thorough appendix includes a comprehensive list of over 500 of the world’s sacred sites.
