In 101 Places to Pray Before You Die, you’ll discover the unexpected, the somber, the whimsical and the inspiring spots that, at times, are hidden in plain sight.Conveniently organized by state, 101 Places to Pray Before You Die will enhance your travel experiences—whether it’s a day trip to explore a spot you’ve breezed past a hundred times, a quick detour on a business trip or a family vacation dedicated to more intensive spiritual searching.

I was disappointed. I thought there would be some unique and great places. I have seen some beautiful churches and places in the USA that weren't in the book.

Both.

I love them both. It has helped understand the rosary. And why we pray it. I pray the rosary and don’t think about it’s meaning. I’m learning not just say it but to pray it

Was expecting this to be a world wide travel book.

I might have not read the description well enough but I thought this was a world wide book, not just a US places to pray book. There are so many places to visit world wide and that was what I was hoping for. I also think this book would do better with more pictures.

Traveling with prayer

Interesting selection of places to see. I expected most to be churches, but some were secular places.
