I (Jenni) have written a number of articles for the travel blog of Living Passages, a touring agency that specializes in luxury tours to a wide variety of biblical sites and exotic African locations. Custom-crafted by Rhonda Sand, these trips feature top guides and teachers in an array of Biblical fields. While writing these fun blog posts, I have been enriched to learn more about the places I’ve already traveled with Living Passages, as well as other places I would someday love to go. I know this sounds like a commercial, but no one is paying me to say this or to promote Living Passages on my website. I write for Rhonda because I love what she’s doing! Seeing first-hand the settings for biblical events adds another dimension to our understanding of the Living Word. I would recommend one of LP’s tours to anyone looking for exceptional accommodations. The hotels are fabulous, the guides are helpful and knowledgeable, and Rhonda knows the best places to visit!
The Living Passages site has made a few minor changes to some of these posts, so I did not have the final say in how things were worded and formatted. This is a disclaimer for the sake of those who might want me to proofread or edit for them in the future.

Feel free to check out some of the other articles on the Travel Blog over there (because I’ve only included the ones I contributed to the LP blog), and take some time to prayerfully consider participating in one of the upcoming unforgettable trips to Israel and Jordan, Rome, Greece, and the Seven Churches on the Mediterranean, Egypt and Saudi Arabia on the Red Sea, and other exciting locations at Living Passages. If anyone asks, you can tell them Jenni sent you.
