As a long-time fan of Bob Goff and a lover of all things theology and biblical history, I really enjoyed this book. It felt like I was journeying through the Bible in real time with a guide via the QR codes. I will definitely keep this book in mind for a new Bible study.

"A Journey with Jesus" is an 8-week long Bible study on the Gospels. Each week had a video portion that was filmed in Israel, showing a location where Jesus spent time, and then the author talked about several events that happened there and what we can learn from them. In addition to the commentary, there were also study questions, some maps in the book, and some recipes for local food. Unfortunately, the videos and other extra content can only be accessed using QR codes (no URLs were provided). As I don't use a smart phone, I wasn't able to view that material. I felt like I was missing half the content, but the book portion was still informative and insightful.

This book isn’t just something you read; it’s something you experience. What stood out to me most were the interactive elements woven throughout—moments to pause and think, journal prompts, thoughtful questions to ask yourself, and even QR codes that lead to beautifully done videos. It feels less like a traditional book and more like being personally invited into the journey.

Bob takes readers across Israel, not as tourists, but as followers of Jesus—walking through places like Capernaum and the Sea of Galilee with a blend of biblical insight, historical context, and his signature joyful storytelling. Each stop invites reflection and connection, helping Scripture come alive in a fresh and meaningful way.

This is an incredible resource for anyone leading a small group or participating in one. It’s also powerful for individual study, whether you’re new to faith, longing for a deeper connection with God, or simply needing a reminder of the joy and courage found in walking with Jesus.

I highly recommend A Journey with Jesus. It stretches your perspective, invites honest reflection, and gently nudges you toward loving others more boldly—something Bob Goff does so beautifully every single time. 💛
