SacredSites.com, the most visited website of its kind in the world, with over 35 million visitors since its inception, has launched the first in its series of Sacred Earth interactive iBooks — Sacred Europe — by Martin Gray, the world's the leading authority on sacred sites.
The most comprehensive book of its kind ever published, it is also the first fully interactive iBook, developed specifically for the iPad, although a non-interactive eBook version is also available for purchase at the Sacred Sites website.
Gray, who has spent 30 years visiting 140 countries photographing and writing about thousands of sacred sites, was looking to do more than just chronicle his life’s work. “I wanted to provide a virtual experience while at the same time, equipping educators with more interactive and fun educational tools for the classroom,” he says.
Priced to sell.
“I hope my subscribers, and the over 35 million people who have visited my Sacred Sites website understand that I’m not in this for the money. I merely want to make enough sales to publish Sacred Asia, Americas, Middle East and Africa. If I can do that, I will have completed what I was put on this planet to do,” Gray concludes.
