About Pilgrim Year
The seven volume Pilgrim Year Book Series takes you on a prayerful journey through the Christian calendar year.
Devotional reflections written by Steve Bell guide you through the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, Easter and Ordinary time.
Drawing on poetry, music, history and tradition, Steve’s unique reflections animate a rich spiritual tradition for the seasoned and the novice alike.
Purchase all seven books as a boxed set ($49.99), or buy books individually ($9.99).
Consider also the two-disc companion CD ($24.99) corresponding to the Pilgrim Year book series, featuring seasonal songs drawn from Steve’s three-decade catalogue of music.
Bell’s Pilgrim Year lays out a rich banquet of theology, memoir, poetry and song. The experience of reading, reflecting and then listening, was a bit like being at a really well-developed spiritual conference or retreat.
Craig Terlson
author of Fall in One DayThese meditations combine a scholar’s learning, a poet’s precision, a musician’s imagination, an adult’s realism, and a Christian’s faith – and faithfulness.
John Stackhouse
Author / TheologianIn Pilgrim Year, Steve Bell does something truly remarkable: he brings readers into a deeply thoughtful and creative exploration of the ancient Christian calendar. Readers familiar with the liturgical seasons and readers encountering them for the first time will find themselves caught up in Bell’s use of song, poetry and personal reflection.

Everything we’ve come to love about Steve Bell is evident here: his warmth, his stories, and his rich theological insight. What a treasure!
