Not all my writing is about travel. Many of my short articles are not. But my first book The French Collection is definitely a travel memoir.
Some people have incorporated this book into a month of devotional readings. The 31 chapters are set up for this, with each chapter having a spiritual application. Some prefer to take a few days and read the book as one travel story.
However you read this book, I hope your walk through Paris will enrich your life with culture, history, spiritual insights and a few laughs.
Book Summary:
In this series of devotions, the reader travels through Paris with the author on her vacation and her journey of faith.
Six days are spent exploring some of the city’s lesser known sites, in anticipation of meeting up with her daughter for another three days of sightseeing. Together reader and author become familiar with the fascinating history and culture of the city of Paris.
Certain moments stand out above all others from the vacation. They are more intense, or more amusing, sometimes more embarrassing, or even more fearful. Kim has written about these moments, developed them around the sights and history of Paris, wrapped them in Scripture and turned them into The French Collection.
