A Traveler’s Advisory is a collection of fifty-two warm and encouraging anecdotes with spiritual messages and faith-based applications, one for each week of the year.
In this collection of devotional stories, Marcia shares some of the fascinating lessons she has learned over the course of her life, which has included many travels to places as diverse as the Yukon and Papua New Guinea. She records the vignettes in a simple, easy-to-understand manner so the reader can identify with the thoughts and feelings, the sights and sounds of the author’s experience.
The stories are divided into chapters with common themes:
* Chapter One: In the Air
* Chapter Two: On the Road
* Chapter Three: On Vacation
* Chapter Four: Faraway Places
The topics in this delightful book touch on God’s care, awareness of God’s daily gifts, Jesus as our source of joy, preparation for eternity, realization of who is in control of our lives, exposing our sin to the light of God’s forgiveness, and true security that is found only in God, to name a few.
For consistency, the book follows a simple format: first a story from Marcia’s cache, then a spiritual application, followed by relevant passages of Scripture to affirm her message.
The only thing I might wish for is a brief Table of Contents for chapter and story titles.
A Traveler’s Advisory is available in both digital and print copy. I would recommend it to any reader of any age, at any spiritual stage, and it would be an excellent gift.
