Produktbeschreibung
Theological student, Andrew, is recovering from a cancer scare, and with his longtime friend is persuaded to join a Holy Land tour. They visit places which ring a loud Christian bell and others which evoke a mere tinkle. During the tour it becomes apparent that although all members of the party are there because of their Christian beliefs, there is a wide range of interpretations and reactions to the places that they visit. This causes a little unrest within the touring party which causes Pastor Paul, the spiritual leader of the group,some anxiety. Flashbacks to earlier times present historical settings for many of the places visited and extracts from Andrew's personal diary give a more intimate indication of how the tour is affecting him. A journey to the Holy Land, searching for the footsteps of Jesus, may strengthen an individual's faith; but then again, it may not. What will these modern-day pilgrims discover, and how will they 'pull up'? More importantly, will the rather good-looking Israeli tour guide help in any way?
Autorenporträt
Glen Natalier was born into a closely knit rural community in the Lockyer Valley in Queensland, Australia. He chose not to stay on the family farm but completed the necessary studies to become a high school teacher of geography and German language. During these teaching years he wrote a number of geography text books directed towards the syllabus requirements at that time. This allowed him to travel widely collecting, first hand, material and photographs to be used in the books. Years of teaching have left him with a love of learning and he finds that writing helps detract from the cares and worries which always seem to arise. The tennis and footballs of previous years have morphed into golf balls which bring great pleasure when seen against the green of the centre of a fairway. Now retired, he lives with his wife, Jill, caring for a teen-age grandson with an intellectual impairment. They live in a town just over a few hills from where he was born. Their four children and their families are scattered around Australia.
