JustRead Tours Blog Tour: Across the Lake: Traveling with Jesus Around the Sea of Galilee by Barbara M. Britton

Welcome to the Blog Tour for Across the Lake: Traveling with Jesus Around the Sea of Galilee by Barbara M. Britton, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours! 

Title: Across the Lake: Traveling with Jesus Around the Sea of Galilee 
Author: Barbara M. Britton 
Publisher: Scrivenings Press 
Release Date: January 6, 2026 
Genre: Biblical Fiction Devotional

Discover the life changing power of Jesus in six short stories from the Gospel of Mark. The miracles of Jesus will leap from the page in a Biblical Fiction story, author reflection, and relatable study. 

Travel with Jesus as he calms a storm, heals a desperate woman, raises a dead daughter to life, sends His disciples on a minimalist mission, feeds thousands on a hillside, and shows compassion to a persistent mother. 

A perfect study for your small group, personal or family devotions, or even a book club. If you know Jesus, fall in love with Him all over again. 

If you haven’t experienced Jesus’s power and love, jump in His boat and engage with the Creator and Savior of the world.  

Devotionals are a daily part of my life. Across the Lake: Traveling with Jesus Around the Sea of Galilee  by Barbara M. Britton is the most recent Devotional that I have discovered. 

I found this Devotional to be very deep and can really challenge the reader to take their time to really read the story. The Author recounts the Gospel of Mark, focusing on certain books, and especially the Sea of Galilee. The stories are Biblical Fiction although they also speak about real life struggles for Women and many of them are from Personal Experiences of the Author.  The 6 chapters of the Devotional are divided into 5 days of stories with 1 Day being Author Reflections. The Discussion Questions after the Author Reflections in each chapter, are "deep thinking" questions and the reader will probably want to take the time to reflect on their own life before answering. I think this is a WONDERFUL Individual Study, although it would make a GREAT Group study also. I HIGHLY recommend this Devotional to anyone who needs encouragement through the Storms of Life. AMAZING Devotional!
