4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book if you are looking for a rest from life., 28 April 2001
By A Customer
This book covers all kinds of retreat and is not restricted to religious places. The information given on each entry is comprehensive and detailed, allowing you to quickly find the type of place you are looking for. I have visited one of the places in the book and the information was accurate, it was exactly as described. One small criticism - the book is organised geographically, it would be useful if it was also cross-referenced by type of retreat and/or religious orientation.
