An exhilarating journey through biblical lands features pertinent Scripture, historical quotes, prayer, and insights on how the lives of those in the Bible were shaped and influenced by the countries in which they lived.
This was a fantastic devotional to start my year with, especially as I was going to visit Israel in mid-February. I’ve followed the author for a while and was very excited to read one of his books!
It absolutely met my expectations. Loved that pictures and maps were included (albeit black and white; a bummer, but I also appreciate that color would have jacked up the book price, lol). The quotes were spot on, the prayers inspiring and springboards to my own. A great devo I’d happily read again.
This was a great read after coming back from a trip to Israel. Now I can picture the geography and it makes the illustrations so much more vivid. I would recommend this to anyone who has traveled the Holy Lands.
“Going Places with God” is a book that will prompt you to consider a trip to the Holy Land. It’s a book you can bring on that trip as you travel. And even if you are not traveling, even if there is no possibility of going to the Holy Land yourself, which is a fact for more people than not, you will appreciate what God has done through these lands and ultimately, what God has done and is doing and will do for you. Let your devotion and praise respond to who he is.
This devotional is more meaningful if you have traveled in Israel. It does not have a common theme and jumps around with each day covering a different passage and geographical location without an overall flow. It's very disruptive that the maps are scattered throughout and not all together in the front or back. Most of the days reference multiple maps and they are hard to find with deckle edges of the pages. Additionally, the maps and pictures in brown and white are not the best resolution or clarity.
