Pilgrimage into Faith Marie Madsen

Journeying on a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage to the Holy Land, a husband, wife and son make their way together to the country of Israel, in hopes of blending together their past familiar biblical stories, their present-day belief and faith in Jesus Christ, and their preconceived notions of what they will witness in modern-day Israel. This book culminates into their combined adventure of past, present and future faith-based puzzle pieces, trying to piece them together into a cognizant picture they can come to accept and believe in. The Madsen family discovered a country of delectable foods, friendly people, modern amenities, excavated ruins, and historic biblical sites. Traveling with a Rock City Church group from Columbus, Ohio, composed of 15 fellow pilgrims, they spent eight days of a nine-day trip exploring the rich, ancient history that Israel possesses today within its current borders in the Middle East. This book describes the separate, personal experiences of three faith-based travelers and what anyone today would witness for themselves while visiting the fascinating locations found in the country of Israel - along with the family's reflective thoughts and feelings expressed while visiting deeply moving and thought-provoking Bible locations, where Jesus spent a significant amount of His time here on earth. We all can and do take our own pilgrimage walks into faith in our personal and ever-changing seasons of life. Sprinkled and interspersed in this book are spiritual reflections for the reader to contemplate and employ in their own daily walk. Come join these three sojourners as they explore the Holy Land and where it leads them (and you) on their enduring Spirit-filled journey into faith.
