WHERE GOD WAS BORN A Journey by Land to the Roots of Religion

Continuing where WALKING THE BIBLE left off, Feiler narrates his own journey throughout the Middle East, tracing the history behind the biblical stories of Joshua, Sampson, King David, Cyrus of Persia, the Maccabees, and more. His speaking style is gently clear, personal, and immediate. At times, his enthusiasm shows as his voice speeds up, but without loss of clarity. The contents are equally clear and enthusiastic. Disc 6 is labeled as an enhanced CD, which amounts to nothing more than links to Harper Audio’s and Feiler’s own Web sites and a set of 10 photos from Feiler’s new WALKING THE BIBLE: A PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY. The best enhancement, however, is the 20-minute interview with the author, in which Feiler speaks about how he came to write about the Bible and about his revelations along the way.
