"God you are always faithful, you never
leave me. Like the air, you surround me." ~Yolondo Lupoe, Traveling
with
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.”

Just the facts:
Someone who wanted to make a difference for GOD in the World, but felt inadequate to do so takes her “God-given gift” and touches the lives of many- giving hope, encouragement, and an encounter with GOD.
She knew very little about photography, nothing about publishing, or book layout and construction, and had no money to complete the over $16,000 project.
But by faith, Yolondo said “yes” to GOD, in order to pierce
the heart of

a catchy title. It’s simply the truth of
Yolondo’s trip to
There is a suggestive or subliminal process in this book of contact between ones element of humanness, the Spirit, and responses of GOD through scripture. This book begins and ends with the dialogue of man’s relation to life, the process going through it, growing in it, and catching up to it all set within the dynamic relationship of a Higher Being and the choice each person has to follow or not follow that Being: GOD.
And that is the beauty of this book. This book is about the dynamic experience of the struggle between life moving with or without you, the choices one makes in life, and the relationship of a personal GOD.
It is an inspirational book for the Christian and the non-Christian. People who have never read the Bible or don’t believe in the Bible have been pierced by this book. Images are burned in memories as seeds of GOD are planted firmly within.

From the Author
Living in an era where it’s almost criminal to share your faith in Christ has burned a desire to shout even more I BELIEVE IN JESUS!!!
But ego, timidity, pride, or something like it tries to muzzle me. I pray:
GOD, I want to make a difference for your kingdom! I know people who don’t know who Jesus is, really IS. I know people who are convinced they should fear a relationship with you. I know people who run from the words “Jesus Loves YOU” and will hide from conversations concerning you. LORD helps me make a difference! Help me share your love with them. I want the world to know the Jesus I love.
GOD the Father is GOD who answers prayer, goes beyond our abilities and talents, and says “Yes, I will use you” when we say “yes, I am willing.”
