Holy Ground: Devotions From the Land of the Bible - Paperback

by Kendall Fowler (Author)

Holy Ground invites readers on a devotional journey through the land of Israel, tracing the biblical story through the very places where God revealed Himself, called His people, and accomplished redemption. Drawing from firsthand travel experiences, Scripture, historical insight, and personal reflection, the book explores how physical places in the Bible serve as formative spaces-locations where divine presence meets human response.

Moving geographically from the north of Israel toward Jerusalem, each chapter centers on a specific biblical site and passage, weaving together travel narrative, theological reflection, and devotional application. Rather than presenting the land as an object of reverence in itself, Holy Ground treats Israel as a teacher-training readers to recognize God's presence, holiness, and call to obedience wherever they stand.

Each devotional includes Scripture, contextual explanation, reflective commentary, and guided journal prompts, making the book suitable for individual devotion, small groups, or readers preparing for or reflecting on travel to the Holy Land. Throughout, the author emphasizes that while God is not confined to sacred geography, encountering the land where Scripture unfolded deepens understanding, attentiveness, and worship.

Ultimately, Holy Ground challenges readers to consider where God is inviting them to "remove their sandals" today-not by traveling to a distant place, but by cultivating reverence, obedience, and awareness of God's presence in ordinary life.
