Jul 16, 2012 10:30:14 PM  |  by [Lisa M. Hendey](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/lisa-m-hendey) [![](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png "Elizabeth: A Holy Land Pilgrimage")](http://catholicmom.com/?attachment_id=32559) Elizabeth: A Holy Land Pilgrimage Beth Gantry, Liz, Elizabeth...the main character of [*Elizabeth: A Holy Land Pilgrimage*](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0046ZRNG4/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=catholicmomcom&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0046ZRNG4) is many things to many people. In the opening pages of this engrossing story, we meet Elizabeth and depart with her on the journey of a lifetime: her solo trip to Israel. She has dreamed of this pilgrimage for many years, but in the end it appears to be her discontent with her life that drives her to finally embark on her voyage. Beth has given her life to serving others and has come to feel only disappointment and resentment in return for her loving efforts. Her relationship with her husband Luke is strained to the point of near divorce. Even her spiritual life seems dry and distant. Interspersed throughout the accounts of Elizabeth's trip, we find Luke experiencing his own journey of sorts. As he steps in for the role his wife has played within the family, he begins to understand her perspective and his part in the damage that has occurred in their relationship. But has his marriage suffered too greatly to be repaired? The closing chapters of this lovingly crafted novel bring a tender response to this dilemma. [*Elizabeth: A Holy Land Pilgrimage*](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0046ZRNG4/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=catholicmomcom&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0046ZRNG4) is not the typical inspirational novel. Part travelogue, part history lesson, part Bible study, this book blends a wonderful story with empathetic characters. Author Cheryl Dickow's research and attention to detail are apparent in this smartly written tale. The close connection I felt with several of the characters in this book, along with my admiration for the wisdom and spiritual reflections of author Cheryl Dickow, leave me hoping that we will be treated to a sequel to *[Elizabeth: A Holy Land Pilgrimage](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0046ZRNG4/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=catholicmomcom&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0046ZRNG4)*.
