Minor wear and soiling noted. Inscribed by the author on a half-title page. Inscription reads Especially for Dorothy and Lou--Keep walking! Bruce Feiler. This is a companion volume to the highly regarded Public Broadcasting System's television series. Both a heart-racing adventure and an uplifting quest, Walking the Bible describes one man's epic odyssey, by foot, jeep, rowboat, and camel, through the greatest stories every told. From crossing the Red Sea to climbing Mount Sinai to touching the burning bush, Bruce Feiler's inspiring journey will forever change your view of some of history's most storied events. Bruce Feiler (born October 25, 1964) is an American writer and television personality. He is the author of 15 books, including The Council of Dads, a book that describes how he responded to a diagnosis of a rare cancer by asking a group of men to be present in the lives of his young daughters. The book was the subject of a TED Talk and inspired NBC drama series Council of Dads. His latest work explores the power of life stories. Drawing on interviews with Americans in all 50 states, he offers strategies for coping with life's unsettling times in his new book, Life Is In The Transitions. Bruce writes the "This Life" column in the Sunday New York Times and is also the writer/presenter of the PBS miniseries Walking the Bible and Sacred Journeys with Bruce Feiler (2014). Derived from a Kirkus review: A genial travel-journal-turned-spiritual-exploration that encompasses many of the sites (from the Dome of the Rock to the banks of the Nile) mentioned in the first five books of the Bible. On a trip to Israel, Feiler was struck "like a bolt of Cecil B. DeMille lightning" by the idea that in and around this land the real places visited by the patriarchs of the Bible still existed. How better to understand the book that connected hima Jew from Georgiato his ancestors than to stand in person on those same sites? Enlisting the aid of renowned Israeli archaeologist Avner Goren, Feiler began his odyssey in Turkey near the alleged site of Noah's ark. Still in Turkey, they drove south (not as much walking as the title suggests) to an area where localnot biblicaltradition holds that Abraham spent his early life, with Goren identifying sites of digs and archeological discoveries. Their travels continued across the West Bank, back and forth through Israel, and into Egypt to follow the story of Moses. They rowed out on a body of water where the Jews of the Exodus might have crossed and continued across the Sinai and up into the Negev desert (40 years of wandering). At each sacred spot, Feiler and Goren whip out their Bibles to discuss the events and ascertain whether this is the place. Most often, the answer is "we don't know." And the response is "it doesn't matter." According to the author, the meaning of the biblical storieswhether the historical struggle of one civilization against another or the spiritual struggle of one people with their moody Godis virtually tangible in these places. A chatty, informal narrative that weaves the Bible and other ancient stories together with contemporary lives., Harper Perennial, 2005, 3<
