But, if my hands were empty of honey, and pearls and gold, There were treasures far sweeter than honey, and marvelous things to be told. -Gulistan This is the true story of a young man's epic bicycle journey from England to India. Traveling more than eight thousand miles, he encounters all manner of adventure, from the curious company of a butterfly in the wilds of Iran to the aftermath of a coup in Kandahar, Afghanistan-from navigating the foreign yet welcoming Muslim world, where he learns the basics of Islam, to the journey's end in mystical India, where he arrives at an understanding of what it means to be free. William Spencer establishes himself as a writer to watch in his debut book, weaving masterful storytelling and cultural insights in a page-turning adventure.

What if we spend a few quiet moments with God each morning? What if we are intentional about making that happen? What if we commit to doing that for an entire year, and by year's end we find we've read the entire Bible? My number one tip for successful Bible study is to be intentional about a plan. If you don't have a plan, it's probably not going to happen. That's the reason I wrote Sweeter Than Honey--to give busy women like us a manageable and attainable plan to read through the Bible in a year. Sweeter Than Honey is a 365-day devotional journey centered around Psalm 119:103, "How sweet are Your Words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" It's a book written to help you find peace in the chaos and strength for your weakest moments as it encourages you in your daily walk with God. These 365 devotions will lead you gently through God's Word in chronological order of book authorship, and when you read the accompanying passage for each day you will have read through the entire Bible! "You'll find encouragement on every page of this book--encouragement to seek God above all else. The strong, spiritual emphasis will challenge you to turn to God for daily direction and experience His presence in a whole new and intentional way. Sweeter Than Honey will become more to you than just another daily devotional, it will become a keepsake as you record prayers and participate in thought-provoking, practical exercises that touch every aspect of your life and draw you closer to our Creator." --from the Prologue
