Heart Of The Holy Land

Whether or not you've been to the Holy Land, you already roam the land vicariously whenever you read the Bible, a book that is immersed in the landscape of ancient Israel, jam-packed with geographical language and imagery. If you have been there, you've also encountered the land personally and embraced its living reality-its storied landscapes, excavated remains from Bible times, and people whose ancestral roots in these Sands reach back hundreds or thousands of years. In these 40 engaging reflections, author Paul Wright brings fresh geographical, historical, and archaeological insights to biblical stories and contemporary situations alike. Each reflection speaks to the heart through a familiar Bible passage, invaluable historical and geographical context, and beautiful photographs. 40 meditations on the places and people of the Holy Land, Over 120 photos of the Holy Land, 6 detailed maps with key sites, Insights into specific Bible stories and moments in the life of Jesus, Experiences of contemporary life, celebration, and conflict, Tools to deepen your Bible study, And much more!
