Walking the Bible: A Photographic Journey
About this book
In 2004, Bruce Feiler reprised the 10,000-mile quest through the deserts of the Middle East that led to his breakthrough bestseller Walking the Bible. Filled with breathtaking photographs, including many taken by the author, this all-new keepsake illustrated book offers an unprecedented, visual journey through the actual locations of some of history's most famous events, from Mt. Ararat, to the Red Sea, to Mt. Sinai.Walking the Bible is the story of one man's personal quest. Feeling disconnected from the religious community he had known as a child, Feiler set out on a perilous journey across the Middle East to discover the roots of the Bible. The result is a fascinating, unprecedented journey -- by foot, jeep, rowboat, and camel -- through the most famous stories ever told.Walking the Bible: A Photographic Journey combinines fascinating imagery with Feiler's famously lively prose. Feiler provides a panoramic view of the land where the world's great religions were born -- and adds a new dimension to the stories that continue to inspire the human spirit.Bruce Feiler is an award-winning author, journalist, and speaker.
