Book excerpt: Whoever coined the phrase, 'Life's a journey, not a destination,' was right, especially when it comes to our faith journey. Perhaps this is ever so clear in that sacred place to the Hebrew people known as Gilgal. Gilgal: A Journey through Lent combines stories of humor and real life with biblical lessons for Lent. This book is centered around Gilgal, a significant place in the life of the Hebrew people. While standing at the threshold of the Promised Land, the people of Israel shared some ceremonial experiences that can easily be applied to our own journey through life. Through the use of scriptural illustrations and examples, author Christopher Yopp takes the reader on a fun-filled, educational trip through the origins, traditions and significance of the season of Lent. Embark on a journey with him from Gilgal to the Promised Land.
