Publisher's Description
Become an intrepid pilgrim on an adventure of faith as you walk five biblical roads that have played such an influential role in our spiritual history. These ancient paths, their stones full of biblical memories, evoke the travels of our ancestors in the faith and Jesus himself: key Scriptures become a guidebook for an unforgettable journey. But also listen to contemporary voices: a wide range of short interviews immerses the reader in present-day realities. As readers tread these roads through mountain, valley, desert, coastland, and city, they will realize their potential to challenge and transform their perceptions--even the very course of their faith. They may never be the same again as they follow in the footsteps of Abraham, Jesus, and courageous pilgrims and hear the cries of today's residents. Roads are about enabling movement. This odyssey of the soul will help readers along in their faith journey, open up new vistas and perspectives, and stimulate a movement in the soul as insights are gained and challenges embraced.

“In the midst of the current conflict in the Middle East we desperately need to hear stories of faith forged in the fire of contemporary experience. Drawing once again on his intimate knowledge of the Holy Land and its people, Andrew Mayes takes us on a journey that blends the traditional and the contemporary. We are invited to the challenge of living out the timeless truths of our faith in our current reality, inspired by those living through the most intense suffering.”
“Andrew Mayes brings biblical texts alive with color, texture, and depth by sitting them in the context of the land which he knows well. He also brings grit because he sets the text in the current challenging realities. It makes for fruitful and challenging Bible study.”
