Synopsis

“This is what the Lord says: ‘Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.’”--Jeremiah 6:16

The Bible has secrets. Hidden among all the words and all the stories are a handful of details that are very much in plain sight, yet are easy to miss. These details can transform even the most familiar passages of Scripture and allow readers to find new life in the biblical text.

Pairing emotive writing with stunning photography, Andy Cook guides readers into these familiar but misunderstood passages so they can experience the Word as if they were among those hearing it for the first time. Cook places readers as wanderers in the Judean wilderness, invites them to celebrate a wedding in Cana, sets them in a picturesque theater perched on a slope overlooking the Sea of Galilee, and more. Through each “trip,” readers discover road maps that reveal key information, direction, and help for their Christian journey. At the end of each lesson, Cook offers practical advice for how to apply what they’ve learned to the challenges of life today.

Whether read as a devotional or browsed as a gift book, Secrets from the Ancient Paths is a lavishly illustrated resourcethat helps readers connect with the Word of God.
