Walking The Bible (Abridged): A Journey by Land Through the Five Books of Moses Audiobook

" Very interesting look at Biblical history. "

" Great book.. Really inspiring.. Makes you want to just take his journey and experience the desert. :) "

" I found the book fascinating. It is an interesting description of the setting of the 5 books of Moses but the authors walk back to his Jewish faith is also interesting to follow. "

" The author clearly is a fantastic writer, and I enjoyed the travel narrative aspects of the book very much. He tromps around some fascinating parts of the Middle East, including Petra in Jordan, a tiny monastery in the Sinai, and various sites in Israel. But that wasn't enough to retain my interest, because--and I should have known this would be a problem--I don't care about the Bible. I have no personal stake in whether Abraham existed, let alone whether he could have been at a particular place in a particular time. So I could imagine many people loving this book--and they do--but it wasn't for me. "

" Great travel book with geographical and textual insights "

" A really interesting approach to the Pentateuch. Bruce Feiler traces the major events from the Five Books of Moses (the first five books in the Hebrew Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy), traveling through Mesopotamia (modern Turkey), Canaan (modern Israel), Egypt, Sinai, and Moab (modern Jordan). He writes in a very engaging way about both the biblical stories and the modern situations in the places he visits. A fast read. "

" Somehow, the author has managed to make fascinating information downright boring. I might finish this, if I ever simultaneously have the time and inclination. "

" I read this back in 2002. Retracing five books of Moses - Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Abraham, Issac, Jacob and Moses, Joshua. "

" This was interesting, as he tells what he sees & feels during his walk through old testament Bible times. I'm not sure about some of his conclusions, but it was worth the read. "

" not as insightful as I had hoped "

" Sometimes I felt like it was driving the Bible and occasionally getting out to walk. But I think that's because I'm more of a purist after walking in Spain. Feiler gets the power of place and it's importance in events. Well-written, enjoyable read. "

" Made me realize how illiterate I am when it comes to the bible. Now I want to read that too. "

" Somewhat entertaining but largely uninformed. I love the Bible and I love travel stories but I was pretty disappointed. "

" Has poetic moments. A good compromise between the exolutionist/skeptic crowd and the creationist/believers that will, ultimately, leave both sides with a hopeful and enlightened feeling. "

" Some great information but contained alot of narrative that did not seem important to the intent of the book. "

" Interesting, but just too long-winded. Made it about halfway through then gave up. "

" Wonderfully done. Got so interested, at times I kept a bible handy to look up and compare the stories Feiler was talking about. Now I want to watch the DVD. "

" Throughly enjoying now, an honest and interesting encounter with the lands, stories, theories, traditions, and people of the Bible. "

" very easy read. good to confront the debate of historical vs. theoretical perspectives of the old testament given from multiple religious perspectives. hated the ending. "

" So fun to read after having been to all these places! "

" An interesting travelogue through the middleeast exploring the physical landscape of the bible and its historical/cultural relevance. "

" This author is quite the writer! Entertaining but informative book. "

" Very interesting and informative, sort of gives you an idea of who the authors of the bible were, and what their lives might have been like. I learned a lot of new things about the region that I never knew before. "

" Made me realize how illiterate I am when it comes to the bible. Now I want to read that too. "

" Excellent and intriguing book- I definitely recommend it. "

" Required college text. I'd rather read about Bible from the ...Bible. "

" Great to read about the past of the Bible in places I just visited "

" great review of the Holy Land "
