Overview

Beyond the Jordan is a memoir-in-essays reflecting on a decade of life in Jordan and the Holy Land. Through a blend of nonfiction styles, Heather takes readers on spiritually rich journeys across the region, immersing herself in its heritage, customs, and landscapes. Along the way, she forms deep connections with Jordanian, Palestinian, Syrian, and Iraqi women, offering an intimate look at their lives and stories. While much of Beyond the Jordan observes the world with curiosity and wonder, it also grapples with the harsh realities of poverty, displacement, and suffering. Through it all, Heather explores how the Middle East has shaped her faith and spiritual life. In a world where conversations about the Middle East often focus on conflict, Beyond the Jordan offers a different perspective-one that highlights the resilience, generosity, and humanity of its people. With vulnerable and evocative storytelling, Heather invites readers to seek glimpses of God in unexpected places and to embrace his majesty and mystery in their personal deserts.
