DOWNLOAD EBOOKDevotional guide based on a trip my wife and I went on to the Holy Land with a group of pastors from New England. It was an amazing week as we visited the places we had learned about in seminary and preached to others about for years. Walking where Jesus walked was intensely spiritual and humbling. Throughout the trip I made notes of what the Spirit was speaking to me. Though my notes were originally only for my own spiritual edification, a few months after the trip I realized that others might be as blessed by the experience as I was. This devotional guide grew out of those notes, and is a picture into my soul of what the Lord taught me as a result of the trip. It is my prayer that through taking this spiritual journey with me, we will all touch the footprints of Jesus, and in so doing, be spiritually refreshed and renewed.
