I have been travelling internationally for 45 years. I wish I'd been able to read this book years ago - it would certainly have made me travel more thoughtfully: it's a travelogue; it's theology; it's cultural education; it's mission challenge all rolled into one. A fascinating read.
How will you spend your summer or gap year? In this unusual travelogue we're invited to reflect on First-world problems and real choices. This could be a good way to oil your thinking and your praying.
Loved it! What a marvellous journey through the stories of Scripture (and the author's life) that will challenge, encourage and widen your perspective, not only on travel, but also on the amazing One who created it all. In a world where it is easier than ever to work or study abroad, this book deserves to be widely read.
Peter Grier gives us excellent, fresh ideas for honouring God with our travels, and helps shape perspective on mission, tourism and the meaningful welcoming of international students.
Grier not only invites us to accompany him on his travels and employ all of our senses – to taste, smell, feel, hear, see and dream, but ultimately to discover who we are and whose we are. He exhorts us to keep wandering, but not aimlessly, keep journeying, but not selfishly, and ultimately to keep walking with our hearts orientated towards our heavenly home and our loving Lord. A must read for those with itchy feet or home-birds alike!
About
Travel is fun – to state the very obvious. But what if it could be enriching, life-enhancing and lots, lots more? What if that hunger for self-discovery, identity and fulfilment could take you in undreamt-of directions?
