{"product_id":"a-pedal-pilgrimage-in-the-mel-cormican-9781542977944","title":"A Pedal Pilgrimage In the Nordics","description":"As with anyone that has been bitten by the biking bug, I can't tell you exactly why I made plans to cycle from Oslo to Helsinki. All I can tell you was that after my other cycling tours were over, the urge was there. \"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.\" Oscar Wilde wrote. \"Resist it and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself.\" I wanted to go on a kind of reflective journey to make sense of it all, to take stock as it were. I wanted this to be a different kind of cycling trip; not a bicycle tour -tours are for tourists-but a \"pedalling pilgrimage\". And where better to go on this kind of pilgrimage but the least religious spot in the Western hemisphere: Norway, Sweden and Finland. To misquote Sinatra: if I can meet God there, I can meet God anywhere. As a follow up to his first book \"To St Petersburg With Love\", author Mel Cormican is on a quest for a spiritual enlightenment and awakening in the Nordics. Can he make sense of his own particular journey in the context of the religious and philosophical history of Europe?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mel Cormican\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1542977940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781542977944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.44d","brand":"Mel Cormican","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44067397239039,"sku":"9781542977944","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7f309cd1-4f0b-42b1-aa15-b3ea713507a3.jpg?v=1685412978","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-pedal-pilgrimage-in-the-mel-cormican-9781542977944","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
