Millions of people travel every day, for what seem like millions of reasons.

Some travel for pleasure, others travel for work and education, and many more travel to find a new job and a better life. In the United States, even those who don''t travel far still frequently find themselves on the move.

What can we learn from these different forms of travel? And what can people of faith learn from the Christian and Jewish traditions that took shape on the road? From the exile from Eden to the wanderings of Jesus and his disciples, the story of Scripture is a dynamic narrative of ceaseless movement. Those who let themselves be inspired by this movement, and are willing to learn from others and from mistakes made in the process, are well positioned to make a difference in the world, not only at home but also around the globe.
