One part adventure story, one part archaeological detective work, one
part spiritual exploration, Walking The Bible vividly recounts an
inspiring personal odyssey--by foot, jeep, rowboat, and camel--through
the greatest stories ever told.
Feeling a desire to reconnect to the Bible, award-winning author Bruce
Feiler set out on a perilous, 10,000-mile journey retracing the Five
Books of Moses through the desert. Traveling over three continents,
through five countries, and four war zones, Feiler is the first person
to complete such a historic expedition. He crosses the Red Sea, climbs
Mt. Sinai, and interviews bedouin and pilgrims alike, as he attempts to
answer the question: Is the Bible just an abstraction, or is it a
living, breathing entity?
Both a pulse-pounding adventure and an uplifting spiritual quest, Bruce
Feiler's Walking the Bible is a stunning and elevating work of
courage, scholarship, and heart that revisits the inscrutable desert
landscape where the world's great religions were born--and uncovers
fresh answers to the most profound questions of the human spirit.
