"God you are always faithful, you never leave me. Like the air, you surround me." ~Yolondo Lupoe, Traveling with God, Italy...The Lessons Along the Way.

 

Yolondo Lupoe's Traveling with God...The Lessons Along the Way, is powerfully fueled by this truth. Every insightful quote, scripture reference and photograph artfully places God as the essence of her journey. Through this, she does nothing less than captivate her reader's imagination and sense of adventure, taking him whole-heartedly along for the journey. 

Yolondo's talented ability to reveal God's paintbrush in the face of a farmer to monumental structures, vividly portrays her heart for inspiring passion in others to see God glorified. Each chapter is sprinkled with pivotal statements of truthful prayer, which challenge the reader to question God's personal relevance and standing in his or her own life. Although I have never been to Italy, as I "traveled" with Yolondo, her relatable nature called me to alter my perspective to one which willingly seeks God's heart in daily circumstances and situations. This spiritual journey was taken amidst the beautiful backdrop of Italy, seen through a camera lens unique to one seeking heavenly wisdom.

Having been on the missions field, I have experienced the difficulties and frustrations that come with crossing cultures. Traveling with God humbled and encouraged me to slow down and and seek to see God's fingerprints which shade every situation with patience, grace and eventual awe. Yolondo expresses this with every aspect of her shared journey, not only portraying it's relevance to the beauty of Italy, but to wherever we find ourselves at the given moment. As one pursues the Creator who truly surrounds us, we can genuinely say that we are lovingly encompassed by His unceasing faithfulness regardless of where life's journey leads us.

"Yolondo Lupoe’s beautifully illustrated book of photographs of Italy captures the way its indigenous population lives in that setting, and through her lens we see the artist interacting with the people, the country, and with GOD as she travels her creative path.
Scripture itself is the reader’s guide from image to image.
If you’ve never been there you’ll be blessed by the images and the truths they tell about GOD’s kingdom. And if you have traveled in Italy, your own memories and meditations of the places you visited will themselves be enriched by the colors, textures, spaces and smiles in evidence throughout this literally wonderful book.”
