Produktbeschreibung
This book gives an account of some amazing places which the author was fortunate to visit in China--from magical Guilin to historical Zunyi; from the stunning Three Gorges to tropical Hainan; from cities of the eastern provinces to the Avatar mountains of Zhangjiajie; from relaxing Xishuangbanna to hectic Hong Kong and Macau; and in the north from the Mongolian grasslands of Nei Menggu to the heart of it all: Beijing. Many people travel today, with something approaching 10,000,000 people in the air on an average day. Yet this is only a fraction of those who travel by other means. Why? For relaxation? For education? To get away? Or simply to say they have ""been there""? On his own travels, the author saw many tourists arrive at a scene, struggle to get to a vantage point, get there, take the obligatory photograph and move on. They have not even looked, let alone appreciated where they are. All they are doing is ticking off places on their ""bucket list"". In this book, the author is striving to delve deeper, especially when it comes to the significance of Beijing.

Autorenporträt
After 14 years teaching secondary school in Australia, Greg McEnnally needed a break. In particular, he wanted to learn more about the Bible and Bible lands. He was also attracted to one very special Scripture scholar, Fr Carroll Stuhlmueller C.P., who was lecturing at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago and also leading study tours of these lands. This was ideal-he signed up for six months study in Chicago plus three months based in Israel. This was in 1987. At the end of this year, he spent three years in Papua New Guinea, then ten years in hospital ministry, before deciding to sign up for another sabbatical. In 2000, he spent a further six months studying at CTU, Chicago, followed by a further three months in Israel, but this time based at the Anglican St. George's College, Jerusalem. The rest of his life has been informed by these two marvellous years. This book is an attempt to share those years with others.
