It is very hard to categorize this non-fiction book; its a travel diary, spiritual in nature and very interesting. Ive read several other books by Feiler and always find the way he shares his thoughts to be compelling reading.
Feiler is accompanied by a paid walking companion -- archaeologist Avner Goren, who was a chief archaeologist of the Sinai Peninsula -- no slouch, indeed. Gorens knowledge of Biblical archaeology was amazing; his comments were pithy and often profound.
As Bruce Feiler is sharing his feelings and reinterpreting what he knows through the experiences he communicates to us, I feel changed too. I sense that I am seeing the first five books of the Bible in a whole new manner. In no way did I think that Feiler and Goren were proselytizing; they were sharing their experiences, so I could see the Bible through a different and more personal -- prism.
