Descrição da editora
Finding Jesus in Israel a book for travel veterans, people with wanderlust, or readers who just love a good story.
We are all shaped and transformed by the oceans we sail, the deserts, mountains, and valleys we wander, and the people we meet along the way. And as any traveler worth his salt knows, the real trip happens within. Sunday school stories are no longer just stories -- Israel is a tangible place populated with living souls.
Author and travel veteran, Buck Storm takes an unvarnished look at the Holy Land with an off-the-bus peek into the people and places that make Israel such an amazing destination.
Part travel journal but mostly spiritual guide, Finding Jesus in Israel takes you across the world, to lands where Abraham settled, through the very streets Jesus walked, and to the shore of waters that Paul sailed. Are you ready?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Songwriter and novelist Storm (Truck Stop Jesus) takes readers on a journey into the Israel away from tour buses and crowds in this lively travelogue. Storm has visited Israel with his wife a handful of times over the past two decades always with his grandfather's Bible in hand. Whether writing about Migdal, the presumed hometown of Mary Magdalene, or Abraham's Gate in Tel Dan, Storm shows the human side of historic sites by recounting anecdotes about the people who live there and sharing the spiritual lessons gleaned from these encounters. For instance, an unwelcome conversation with a chatty woman on a bus helps him to realize he was fetishizing a place (in this case, the area where Jesus gave his famous Sermon on the Mount) instead of worshipping God. In another musing, Storm drinks coffee with an Israeli bus driver at a caf overlooking a site previously bombed by terrorists and considers the universality of suffering: "It wasn't some disconnected third-page headline from the other side of the world. This was right here, right now.... His problems were my problems now. His pain my pain." Packed with empathy and scriptural enthusiasm, Storm's perceptive stories will appeal to Christian readers interested in modern Israel.
