Chasing the Divine in the Holy Land de Ruth Everhart

Chasing the Divine in the Holy Land

Autor Ruth Everhart
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 dec 2012
Do you ever wonder what it would be like to trace the footsteps of Jesus in the Holy Land -- to swim in the Sea of Galilee, to walk the Via Dolorosa, to kneel on Golgotha? Or maybe you've already visited the Holy Land and you know what a life-changing experience it is. If so, then this book is for you. When Ruth Everhart was given the opportunity to travel to the Holy Land as one of several ministers taking part in a documentary about pilgrimage, she jumped at the opportunity. Little did she know just how demanding -- yet, ultimately, rewarding -- her transformation from Presbyterian minister, wife, and mom to pilgrim would be. Candid, down-to-earth, and delightful, Ruth recounts her experiences in Chasing the Divine in the Holy Land, inviting readers to journey alongside her on an unforgettable Holy Land pilgrimage.Watch the trailer:

Recenzii

Clyde Edgerton-- University of North Carolina Wilmington, author of "Night Train""I can think of only two reasons to buy this book: 1. You are "not" going to the Holy Land.2. You "are" going to the Holy Land.In these pages Ruth Everhart writes eloquently about her trip into the dust and beauty of Christianity's cradle -- about her wrestling with her beliefs, her faith, and her past. If all pilgrims were as curious, insightful, introspective, firm, and openhearted as Ruth Everhart, our old world would roll more happily and safely through the universe. In her story you'll find bloodshed, humor, and -- most importantly -- love."Rachel G. Hackenberg-- author of "Writing to God""Like George Gershwin's "American in Paris", Ruth Everhart's memoir of an American Protestant in the Holy Land trips through a whirlwind of sights, sounds, conversations, questions, and revelations. The pace and first-person perspective effectively convey the disorienting (and holy) mess that results from putting our sanitized faith into tangible context -- where dust and dispute, pomegranates and politics, armed soldiers and traveling pilgrims coexist. Everhart lays bare her struggles and assumptions so that we have room to examine our own, and offers us her journey so that we might witness the mobility of Holiness as it contrasts with our desire for a locatable Jesus. Ultimately, "Chasing the Divine" in the Holy Land teaches us again the value of seeking, losing, and rediscovering the Divine every day."Carol Howard Merritt-- author of "Tribal Church" and "Reframing Hope""I cannot imagine a better guide into the Holy Land than Ruth Everhart. Every page of "Chasing the Divine" conjures Everhart's fierce intellect and sacred passion. With each step she takes, her engrossing descriptions point us beyond Sunday school sentimentality and challenge us to grapple with the blood and violence that pulse through the dust. More than just touring the land, Everhart teaches us to become pilgrims."
