My Journey to the Holy Land - A Devotional Photo Journal

by Kimberley Payne

This short book is a devotional photo journal inspired by the author's 10-day trip to Israel.

"The devotional thoughts are worthy of the reader’s pondering and allowing them to penetrate one’s mind and heart as well. The story is written in such a way as if the author just cannot wait to let readers know what lessons of life such a trip can leave one with. Kimberley’s enthusiasm runs throughout the book and the reader wants to learn more and more of what experience each day brought for her to share with her audience.

"Readers would be wise to not overlook this little book. While it may be considered as a brief travelogue of the Holy Land it is also an emotional treasure of personal reflections of how this land can impact one’s life.

"If readers know of anyone planning on taking a trip to the Holy Land then make sure to give them a copy of Kimberley Payne’s 'My Journey to the Holy Land'. It is a great preview to help their excitement mount as to what lies ahead."
~ A. Anderson

Bonus Gift: At the back of the book you will find a link to a video photo show of my journey to Israel

My Journey to the Holy Land: A devotional Photo Journey

Kimberley Payne

I eagerly anticipated reading this photo journal. Would it remind me of my time in Israel? Would I recognize the thoughts Kimberley would describe?

The photos and descriptions of the places visited did, indeed, remind me of my own journey to the Holy Land. Some of the thoughts Kimberly described echoed my thoughts.

The photos in the journal show the stunning landscape of the country. They draw one into the written pages.

The first devotional, How is God Like a Cafeteria Tray, was though-provoking and insightful – a foretaste of what was to come. The other devotionals showed the same attributes.

The devotional entitled The Bible as a History Book is an example of how the Bible fits history. Kimberley alludes to King Jereboam building and placing the two golden calves and setting them up in Bethel and Dan. The archeological dig in Dan showed evidence of a large altar and worship centre and added weight to her point of God being a God of history.

All in all, I found this to be an interesting work. While not intended as an in-depth devotional, Kimberley does provoke thought with her musings.

Although it seems to be geared for younger Christians anyone can enjoy the photos and commentaries. They give one a bit of a sense of how exciting a trip to the Holy Land is.
