Title: Excellent book!
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 27, 2010
Review: This book is a very good book! The author takes you on many journeys with him, and he does an excellent job of painting word pictures in such a way that you can easily picture the scenes and feel like you're right there with him! I would definitely recommend this book whether you're someone who loves traveling, a Christian wanting to do better in their journey, or just anyone looking for a fun, casual read.

Title: An adventure in Christian history and faith
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 7, 2007
Review: This book is a treasure trove and a lens through which the sites of Christian history are illumined and brought to life. Characters from Augustine to Luther, from Benedict to Brother Roger, from Bunyan to Spurgeon speak and teach and preach, and we are placed in their company and allowed to listen and respond. Christian George is a master story teller, a word smith, a winsome companion along the road of Christian lore and legend, of history and mystery. He takes us by the hand with gusto and clear vision of his destination and abates all fears in the traveler by showing us his own vulnerability and subtle trepidation in the face of topography and divine presence. This book is both an invitation to go and see the way George does with his colorful, poetic, humorous perspective and a model for delving into the history of our Christian faith in the places of the heart. I recommend this book highly as a personal adventure in pilgrimage or for group exploration. Not only inveterate travelers or church history buffs, but also those whose faith has grown stale due to lacking circulation and exercise will find their muscles toned and their heart beat accelerated by these stories and testimonies spanning two thousand years of faith.

Title: History Aflame
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 11, 2007
Review: After reading this book, you will want to visit the sites mentioned within this volume. The incredible detail given makes the reader feel like he's actually there visiting the site with the author, as opposed to some frommer's travel guide where the site is listed and what happened there. Instead, George goes through the historical significance in a gentle way and slams the inevitable arugement of "what does this have to do with me?" by presenting theological applications and impact. If the chief end of man is to Glorify God and enjoy Him forever, (westminster cat. - shorter confession), then are we not to understand that this faith we have is not formed in some mental vacuum? Church history can be an intimate expression of praise and joy unto the Lord. Thanks to George for NOT letting this pass us by.

Review: I enjoyed every aspect of this book! It appealed to my love of travel, as well as my desire to grow in my faith. I loved how Christian was able to tell interesting stories about fascinating places, and, at the same time, provide inspirational insights into his personal journey of faith. I cannot wait to read his future books!
