No Holiday from - Part 3

STOP THE PRESS!

We’ve just arrived back from our first proper food shopping trip and we can’t believe what we found next to the Deli counter in between the fruits and the breads - there was this tiny rotating stand of all sorts of books. Whilst having a curiosity look, we found a … we still can’t believe it … a Bible! In a supermarket! Unbelievable! Yet even better than that (better because we are already travelling with 6 Bibles) there was a copy of “The Pilgrim’s Progress” by John Bunyan - amazing.

Our excitement was for two reasons:

1. you can buy Bibles and fantastic Christian literature in a supermarket

2. because I had failed to pack an easy read copy of Pilgrim and we were going to have to use my Olde English Version on the laptop instead; fine for me and Karen but not so great for the boys. A Pilgrim’s Progress is our planned story book reading, out loud each night, once we pick up the RV.

The greatest travel story of all time will be perfect for a travelling family desiring no holiday from Jesus.
