Published 2 days, 7 hours ago
Description
⭐ Catholic Star-Rated Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Catholic Vault Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars Ada Goodrich-Freer’s In a Syrian Saddle is a remarkable Catholic-era travel memoir that transports the listener into the landscapes of Sacred Scripture. Journeying on horseback through Syria and Palestine, she encounters the living world behind the Bible — deserts walked by prophets, ancient Christian communities, and lands forever sanctified by salvation history. Her observations preserve a vanished era when traditional Christian life still flourished openly in these regions. The audiobook offers Catholic listeners a rare opportunity to experience the geography, cultures, and enduring spiritual echoes of the Biblical world. This work strengthens appreciation for the historical reality of Scripture and the global endurance of the Christian faith. A deeply enriching listen for Catholics, history lovers, and seekers of the Christian East.
