Publisher's Description
Imagine following Jesus along the road, listening in on his conversations, and gleaning from the lessons he taught in the holy places he traveled. Join author Wayne Stiles as he walks in the steps of Jesus: through Bethlehem, Samaria, Jerusalem, Nazareth, Galilee, and beyond. Experience the places where Jesus met a lonely woman in Samaria, a den of hypocrites in the Temple, a Jerusalem Pharisee still searching for truth, fishermen with a sea of false expectations, and a hometown ashamed of him. Entering the Holy land through the settings, sights, and sounds of Stiles's engaging travelogue, readers will not only discover more about these sacred places, but also learn practical lessons that will find their way into their hearts. And ultimately, prepare them for their own encounter with Christ.

“In Walking in the Footsteps of Jesus, Wayne Stiles gives his readers great insights into the places where Jesus walked and the thoughts Jesus must have had as He moved about the Holy Land. Few realize how formative geography was on the events and in the lives of those whom Jesus met and touched. To think of Jesus and the disciples cresting the Mount of Olives and realize what a different vista each saw while looking at the same scene will give you insight into the ways we see the vistas of our lives. Walking in the Footsteps of Jesus is a unique way to see Jesus, the Gospels, and”
