Austin, Lynn. Pilgrimage: My Journey To A Deeper Faith In The Land Where Jesus Walked. Bloomington, MN: Bethany House Publishers. 2013.

SUMMARY:
In a time of her own spiritual struggles, monotony and mindless motions, Lynn Austin receives the opportunity to tour Israel. Learning through tours of the sites of the people from Biblical times, she realizes how difficult those people lived as well how much faith and trust were needed. With this new enlightening knowledge, Lynn reflects on her own life concerning worship, trust and faith.

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS:
Written in a journal-like form, the author attempts to invite the readers to consider their own personal faith in God; however, perhaps too much focus is given to her own life rather than generalizing for others to find a renewed focus on God. The concept is wonderful, the opportunity must have been fantastic…definitely an idea worth expounding upon even further. Often things (including God) are taken for granted; sometimes it takes a new environment to remind us what we all are blessed to experience within our own lives, including our faith.

RATING:
3.5 (out of 5) pennies
