Jerusalem Calls shares a deeply personal journey of faith. What inspired you to finally put your story into a book, and why did you feel now was the right time to tell it? People are surprised to learn that I had no intention of sharing my story in Jerusalem Calls! My plan was to write about the history of the three pilgrimage feasts, placing readers in the shoes of the ancient Israelites from the exodus wilderness through Jesus’ last year of earthly ministry.
