Steve Ray
Catholic Convert, Apologist and Pilgrimage Leader 


Twelve convenient walking tours, with detailed maps.
More than 100 important pilgrim sites.
Almost 800 inspiring images.
Thousands of interesting Christian facts.


Experience the grandeur of Rome's art, architecture, history and -- above all -- faith. For the pilgrim, Rome bears witness to twenty tumultuous centuries of Christian history, like no other place. The Eternal City's abundance of sacred treasures can overwhelm, however, especially when so many tourist guides fail to focus on the faith. This is the indispensable Guide 4 Pilgrims on Rome and the Vatican. Whether traveling there or simply enjoying it from an armchair, pilgrims can experience the human drama that has always defined the Eternal City: from ancient emperors and martyrs, to Renaissance popes and artists, to the enduring legacy of Rome's architects and saints. Christianity has always demanded Rome's attention, just as the Eternal City has commanded the world's. Regardless of the passing of brutal emperors and empires, however, Rome confirms that the gates of Hell have not and shall not prevail against Christ's Church. 

"This book is at the top of my list
as one of the most comprehensive Catholic travel guides to Rome.
I especially love the stunning images, interesting facts about the saints
and our Catholic faith, as well as all of the travel tips included in this book.
I am taking this book with me on all 4 of my pilgrimages to Rome this year."

“Today, as a professional travel writer, I may have read more guidebooks than the Holy See has had popes. I can honestly say that this [book] goes above and beyond the call of guidebook duty. I wish it existed when I was in Rome….   Rome and the Vatican – Guide 4 Pilgrims is an essential companion. It could also easily be used creatively in history or religion classes, since the authors go back to the beginning, covering the major players in church history and notable places in Rome with the photographs to go with them…. [W]ith this book, you will see what most tourists miss and learn aspects of your faith you never knew.”

The Trials and Triumph Trilogy:


Puppet masters control governments.
Tech titans control privacy.
Scientists control human life.
The dawn of the Shining Darkness has been foretold through saints...
along with God's climactic plan 
to end the evil
and reward the good.


A bizarre monastery death sets the world's political, 
economic and Spiritual forces on a collision course, 
careening to the climactic end of the Age.

The Rise is Book One of The Trials and Triumph Trilogy, 
epic thrillers that race around the world, 
through the tumultuous centuries of Christian history. 
This riveting fictional account was written in 2009, 
but reads like global news reports, 
ripped from the front pages of today's major newspapers.

Highly researched,
The Trials and Triumph trilogy is based on 
true but little-known prophecies of saints.
