Bible Road: Signs of Faith in the American Landscape
Bible Road: Signs of Faith in the American Landscape
If the high price of gasoline is keeping you close to home this summer, take our virtual road trip with documentary photographer Sam Fentress. In a project that spanned 25 years, he took pictures of religious signs in 49 states. Those photographs, taken everywhere from Los Angeles to Pine Level, Alabama, are collected in the book "Bible Road: Signs of Faith in the American Landscape." Click through our photo gallery for a glimpse of roadside religion. All photographs by Sam Fentress. Reproduced with permission of David&Charles. For more information, go to bibleroadbook.com
