I am so appreciative to have read this great book of treasures during Holy Week. Thank you Thomas Nelson! The photography work of Ken Duncan is breath taking. Being Greek and having family in Greece, this book captured my heart with superb photos of Thessalonica, Parthenon on the Acropolis, Saint Paul's Church in Crete and the Temple of Artemis, Ephesus. Ken's eye for beauty had me from the start. He opens with a stunning sunrise photo. I have taken many sunrise photos myself from Maui to Punta Chivata, Mexico. It is thrilling to rise early in the morning hours just to capture that moment. Ken's shots are professionally displayed in the book. While glancing at photos of Israel, Greece, Italy and Turkey, being the true fishing woman that I am, you can feel the ocean breeze blow through your hair and smell the salt in the air! read more... http://ladyd-books.blogspot.com/ I loved this book. The pictures alone would have made a great book, but the descriptions and the "story" behind the pictures gave them that much more meaning. Seeing places that Paul traveled during his many journeys was sort of surreal. I think that Ken Duncan should be awarded for his ability to capture the scenes of these places in a way that portrays that enormous role they played in the bible. Being that I don't have an intimate knowledge of Paul's travels I thought that I may be a little lost as to where these places were and their importance. The scriptures and notes that go along with the pictures made Paul's life and his tribulations clear to me. At the very least this book is a great collection of photography. However I feel that the way the book was constructed allows the reader to have a accurate picture of the places Paul traveled as well as the significance of event that occurred during his travels. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Follow a trailblazer's path and see for yourself all the places that Paul visited . . . Paul's missionary journeys are much more than mere dotted lines on rough maps at the back of your Bible. His travels changed the world, and when you, too, follow "In the Footsteps of Paul, " you'll experience those amazing journeys more powerfully than ever. The lens of renowned photographer Ken Duncan traces everywhere Paul is known to have traveled. Ken's stunning photos, combined with Scripture and writings from noted authors, creates an exciting platform for experiencing the life and times of one of the apostles who introduced Jesus to the Roman world and beyond.

While beautiful, the book is lacking in substance to enhance the importance of the places being photographed. Most pages have one photo per page with a location label and either a scripture or a paragraph about Paul’s ministry. There is no real depth to the book so it would not help much for study or even as a devotional.
Another problem I had was the print was difficult to read. The labels for the pictures are in very small print and the scriptures have oddly printed some of the words in a faint beige color. While beautiful to look at, it makes them difficult to read.
I was very disappointed in this book. It would have been more useful to have half as many pictures with more details of the historical significance of the sites. ( )
