| "What
does that question have to do with travel?" I
hear you ask.
Let me share with you a quote from Irving
Hexham, author of the fascinating series "The Christian
Travellers Guide". He shares that:
"The
legacy of the Christian faith takes on immediacy and impact as
you see firsthand the places where believers through the centuries
lived and died, shaping our world with their faith".
We live in a day when many of our
"heroes" are T.V. personalities, rather than men and women
who have given everything so that we can have worship God in freedom,
read the Bible in our own language and know that we are saved by
Grace. We take it all so for granted!
Amy
Eckert, co-author of the "Christian Traveler's Companion"
and prolific writer defines Christian Travel as:
“travel that
rejuvenates your spirit as well as your body, travel that does
not leave your spiritual life behind on the coffee table, travel
that encourages appreciation for what God has done and thankfulness
for his great gifts.”
