John Christopher Frame is an author who writes about faith, travel, and global awareness. He encourages Christians to reflect more intentionally on how their beliefs shape daily decisions and engagement with the wider world.
He holds a PhD from the University of Oxford and is also a graduate of Harvard University.
In 2022, he traveled to all sixteen biblical towns in present-day Turkey that the Apostle Paul visited, as recorded in the Book of Acts.
He is the author of Homeless at Harvard, 7 Attitudes of the Helping Heart, and From Sea to Shining Sea: 50 Daily Devotions from Traveling to Every State in America, co-authored with his parents and inspired by their visits to all fifty U.S. states.
John grew up in the United States, has lived on three continents, and has traveled to more than thirty countries. He now lives in Turkey with his wife and dog.
Simple Travels Across America
John Christopher Frame’s writing brings together faith and travel, using real journeys as invitations to pause and reflect. His most recent book, From Sea to Shining Sea, was co-authored with his parents, Gene and Marsha Frame (pictured). Married for nearly sixty years, they have visited all fifty U.S. states together.
Those shared travels became the foundation of the book. Drawing from moments across their journeys—including historic sites, national parks, and even the Baseball Hall of Fame—the devotions connect travel, Scripture, and everyday life. The book offers a simple and accessible way to slow down and deepen spiritual growth.
About the Book
From Sea to Shining Sea

Inspired by journeys to all fifty states, the book connects ordinary travel moments with deeper spiritual insight. From iconic landmarks to quiet roadside stops, each devotion uses real experiences as a doorway into reflection, Scripture, and prayer. The easy-to-read devotions are intentionally brief and accessible, helping those who seek to start a daily quiet time routine.
