“The Journey” is approximately 300 entries covering the New Testament of the Bible. They are written with a travel/backpacking theme, each entry culminating with a word or two that capture the essence or key idea of the passage. Each is called that entry’s “Item in the Backpack.” Written with the angst and honesty of a fellow pilgrim on this journey called life, I nevertheless wanted the book to be theologically accurate, so I had the book read by Dr. William Klein, Professor of New Testament at Denver Seminary, who offered suggestions and corrections, which I incorporated.

Dr. Klein wrote these words of endorsement:  “With the New Testament in one hand and Debbie’s guidebook in the other, you will experience the Christian journey to be an exciting venture—though not one for the fainthearted.”
