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.

Travel with Adam Hamilton as he retraces the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Once again, Hamilton approaches his subject matter with thoughtfulness and wisdom, just as he did with Jesus' crucifixion in 24 Hours That Changed the World and with Jesus' birth in The Journey. Read The Way on your own or, for a more in-depth study, enjoy it with a small group or part of a 40-day church-wide emphasis during Lent and Easter or anytime of the year. Using historical information, archaeological data, and stories of the faith, Hamilton follows in the footsteps of Jesus from his baptism to the temptations to the heart of his ministry, including the people he loved, the parables he taught, the enemies he made, and the healing he brought. This 40-day focus will help you and your group grow deeper in their faith, learn more about the life of Christ, spend time daily reading and reflecting upon the Scriptures, and invite families, through the children's and youth studies, to grow together in their faith. Additional resources include a DVD, devotional, youth and children editions, and a worship download to help with sermon planning.

Paul said, "We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but our lives as well." -(2 Thessalonians 2:8a NIV) As Paul shares, I have the desire to share my life through the teachings that come with analogies and parables. Walking in the Footsteps of Christ is an accumulation of "a gift of knowledge" laced with "a gift of wisdom." Writings placed within these pages reflect an inner dialogue between the Holy Spirit and my heart and mind--relating spiritual truths (which we might not understand) with physical truths (to which we may relate in our daily living). One such analogy that communicates a relationship between an author and a reader is as follows: A kiwi fruit matures faster when placed in a brown paper bag with an apple. Why? The apple gives off "ethylene gas," accelerating the maturity of the kiwi, while the apple remains an apple. God, through the venue of Holy Spirit, showed me that my writings originally were the catalyst for accelerating my spiritual growth (maturity). Applying spiritual truths with physical truths: The contents of this book (the bi-product of my walk) discharge "a spiritual ethylene gas" by placing two spiritual fruit-bearing beings in a one-on-one setting. Such as with the relationship between the apple and the kiwi, you, the reader, will not become like me--but may have a better understanding of what God could produce out of your own life. To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example that you should follow in His steps. -(1 Peter 2:21 NIV) ***** This Book Becomes my Prayer (Walking in the Footsteps of Christ, Page 349) I pray, dear Lord, that Your readers, too, might take the time And glean some of these teachings And share with others as I have shared with them. Dear Lord, I place this book in Your Hands As my footsteps become footprints For generations to come. Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord Amen.

Imagine walking where Jesus walked and fed more than five thousand men, not including women and children. Join author Major Stewart as he walks in the footsteps of Jesus: through Galilee, Bethlehem, Nazareth, Caesarea Philippi, Mount of Olives, garden of Gethsemane, and Jericho.

During a transition in his life, Major went on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land that powerfully challenged and positively changed his life. Walking in His Footsteps was birthed out of the experiences he encountered while walking on the very roads that Jesus traveled. Embark on this journey in the "Land of Jesus." In the process, you will discover ways to grow closer in your walk with Jesus!
