The Holy Land for Christian Travelers: An Illustrated Guide to Israel Paperback - 2017

by John A. Beck


From the publisher

A trip to the Holy Land is on the bucket list of many Christians. But planning a meaningful trip in a place so filled with significant sites is an imposing task. Most travel guides are not prepared to link the Bible and land in an accurate and meaningful way because they are written for people of all faiths. So how can a Christian traveler prepare a trip that will illuminate God's Word and reveal the Lord's presence?

In The Holy Land for Christian Travelers, John A. Beck provides a guide to the Holy Land for Christians with explanations of the biblical significance of important sites. The entries provide key Scripture references for reflection and a guide to the land that will encourage communion with God and a genuine spiritual experience for travelers as they walk in the footsteps of Jesus. A trip to the Holy Land can be a worship-filled, once-in-a-lifetime spiritual journey. This book puts a biblical scholar and experienced Holy Land guide at the reader's side.

From the rear cover

"A masterful guide to the lands of the Bible."
--Paul H. Wright, president, Jerusalem University College, Israel

Many Christians hope to tour the Holy Land in their lifetime. But planning a meaningful trip in a place so filled with significant sites is difficult. The Holy Land for Christian Travelers puts a biblical scholar and experienced Holy Land guide at your side to ensure that you not only find the sites you want to visit but also understand their biblical significance. This guide will help you enjoy your trip with the confidence that you are avoiding common mistakes and investing your time and resources well. Each entry provides key Scripture references for reflection and encourages communion with God and a genuine spiritual experience as you learn about the land and walk in the footsteps of Jesus.


"I won't travel to Israel again without this book."--J. Carl Laney, professor of biblical literature, Western Seminary, Portland, Oregon

"The maps, artistic reconstructions, site explanations, and time lines help make this guide the best one on the market."--Michael A. Grisanti, professor of Old Testament and director of the TMS Israel Studies program, The Master's Seminary

"Over time, this guide will become your dog-eared, marked-up, and duct-taped traveling partner."--Jim Halbert, lead pastor, Crossroads Community Church, Nampa, Idaho
