Walking the Bible

A Journey by Land Through the Five Books of Moses

Bruce Feiler's groundbreaking 10,000-mile journey retracing the Five Books of Moses through the desert. From crossing the Red Sea to climbing Mt. Sinai, this epic odyssey — by foot, jeep, rowboat, and camel — became a cultural touchstone, a PBS series, and spent over 18 months on the New York Times bestseller list. It changed how a generation connects to Scripture.

A Time to Gather

How Ritual Created the World — and How It Can Save Us

Bruce's newest work chronicles his 50,000-mile journey across sixteen countries on six continents, exploring the astonishing rise of reinvented life rituals. From a mass baptism in the Vatican to a tooth-filing ceremony in Bali to Taylor Swift-themed divorce parties, Feiler discovers that we are in the midst of a ritual renaissance — and offers a practical roadmap for creating gatherings that heal, connect, and transform.
