Critics Review
… [written] in a beautiful style that feels like a warm knife through butter– The United Church Observer
THE ACCIDENTAL PILGRIM is a welcome read for those of us who identify more with Chaucer’s characters than the holier-than-thou crowd. Maggi Dawn’s honest portrayals of her journey from tourist to pilgrim encourage me to keep walking along my own unique and crooked pilgrim path. - Becky Garrison, author of Jesus Died For This? A Satirist’s Search for the Risen Christ

In it Maggi Dawn guides us to places both spatial and spiritual that we have never been before and helps us to see ourselves and the world around us with fresh eyes. - - Paula Gooder, Canon Theologian of Birmingham and Guildford Cathedrals and author of This Risen Existence: The Spirit of EasterThis lovely spiritual memoir of one woman’s gradual discovery of what it means to be a pilgrim is an ideal companion for a new year. - Woman AliveThis book is a triumph of determination to see God at all times and in all places, and to recognise the voice which calls us on despite ourselves. - The NEWSpaper - Sarah CawdellMaggi Dawn
