Bruce Feiler - Where God Was Born, Abraham, Walking The Bible

"Moses Was Once a Basket Case"
Friday, December 29, 2006

I'm often asked where the idea for Walking the Bible came from. Sometimes I joke: Living across the street from three churches in Nashville for two years. Here's why! The AP profiles Donald Seitz who spent three years driving 20,000 miles across 40 states to photograph 100 church signs for a new self-published book, which features other catchy lines like "Life is fragile. Handle with prayer" and "Don't Give Up. Moses Was Once A Basket Case."

Some of the highlights: "Feed your faith and your doubts will starve to death," from Church of Christ at Brookhill in Killen, Ala.; "Love God with all your heart, then do whatever you want," from Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City; and "Tithe if you love Jesus. Anyone can honk," from Southern Heights Baptist Church in Russellville, Ky.
