The spiritual beauty of Santa Barbara defies monotony in religion, faith and experience. There is an aura about the region that ignites the spirit without exclusivity. While much of this feeling is a result of the natural sanctuary that the city lies within, there are a plethora of diverse sacred sites and spiritual monuments that refuse to go unnoticed. These are precisely the locations that author Genevieve Antonow shares in this book. Her work is a deep dive into the many manmade locations of worship and religious significance that truly resonate with central coast residents. Antonow promises to prompt both reflection on the past and inspirational journeys to come.
