Misty: Could have used a little more brick-to-the-face action, dear.

Sean,

Obviously we were meant to be friends. Now if you two would only move back over here so we could actually spend time with you…

Was that hint not so subtle?

On Spin, Kat and I just read the same book over in Hawaii. I happened to get a hold of it first and when asked if she would like it, I had to tell her I was not sure. Funny how across the country, you two still seem to have little ways of being alike.

When I was still a consultant, (about three years ago) my co-worker was reading _Walking the Bible_ and the title intrigued me. I love books about understanding religion (whether or not it is mine doesn’t matter) without preaching dogma. It’s still on my Amazon wishlist, and reading your review, I am even more intrigued. I hadn’t thought about it in context with Hajj, but it’s a great comparison since the pilgrimage is *literally* walking in the footsteps of Adam, Eve, Hagar, Abraham, Ishmael, and finally, Mohammad.

Now I really want to read it. Off to Amazon, I go.

I think most of us who are spiritually seeking should do some hajj-like travel. I know there are several places in the holy lands that I would like to visit.

I hesitated to post about this book because I didn’t know what sort of mess it would stir up. However, I decided to go ahead simply because I knew that there were reasonable people of all three faiths who read this site. I don’t have the answers to the divisions in our world, what you were expecting a Nobel Peace Prize Winner? What I do know though is that caring communication is always a good place to start. Talking about our similarities is more helpful than talking about our differences. I had wondered? hoped? that you would get the ball rolling, John.

The description of Walking The Bible seems really interesting. My first thought, based on what you describe, is that his trip sounds like he’s trying to do the Hajj, the pilrimage to Mecca that all Muslims should do (and I’ll go someday!). Talking to F. (who went before we married), there’s a lot of walking in the desert, sitting with the rocks and sands, and just thinking a lot about your connection to Allah, the world, and the Muslim religion. It’s probably un-PC for me to say that all religions could use something similar, but I hope you’ll take that the right way.

I agree with your assessment of Walking the Bible. I enjoyed it so very much and my feelings mirror yours. The second one I can’t comment on since I haven’t read it. Maybe I will one day after I finish The World is Flat. May
