One part adventure story, one part archeological detective work, one part spiritual exploration, Walking the Bible vividly recounts an inspiring personal odyssey--by foot, jeep, rowboat, and camel--through the great 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 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. Abridged. 6 hours on 4 cassettes, read by the author.
