Family-Written Devotional Invites Readers on a Journey to All 50 States

A new travel-themed devotional draws on one couple’s visits to all 50 U.S. states. With Lent underway, From Sea to Shining Sea: 50 Daily Devotions from Traveling to Every State in America offers easy-to-read reflections inspired by real travel stories, pairing Scripture and prayer to support spiritual growth.

John Christopher Frame wrote the book with his parents, Gene and Marsha Frame, whose travels shaped the devotions. Readers are invited to explore America while reflecting on faith through everyday travel experiences.

“The short devotions in this book give a glimpse into all 50 states through the eyes of my parents—who have been married for nearly 60 years. The book offers a simple way to learn about the country and grow spiritually,” John Christopher Frame said.

Each devotion centers on one state and a faith-based theme. They highlight notable destinations like national parks and the Kennedy Space Center, along with lesser-known sites such as historic landmarks and museums—inviting readers to appreciate the breadth and beauty found across the U.S.

“I want readers to feel like they’ve traveled without leaving home and to discover things about the country they didn’t know,” Frame said.

The devotions encourage people to slow down, spend time with God, and reflect more intentionally on their spiritual life.

“I hope the book helps readers develop a regular habit of quiet time, so they can grow into the person God wants them to be,” Frame said.

The ebook edition of From Sea to Shining Sea is currently free on Amazon and other major retailers, with a paperback edition also available.
