The Holy Land for Christian Travelers: An Illustrated Guide to Israel
by John A. Beck
About:
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.

My Thoughts:
The Holy Land for Christian Travelers is a very unique and cool book. I really enjoyed thumbing through the different maps, learning about the different culture aspects of Israel and just letting my mind wander to that kind of lifestyle it would be. This book is full of color, pictures and is an amazing travel guide. I can't imagine going to Israel without it! I have pages with sticky notes and others that have notes come out of it because I learned so much about the historical sites, some of the inccuarcys, etc. This book is truly a gift and I highly recommend you reading it. I give this book 4/5 stars. Thank you to the publisher for providing me a complimentary copy. A favorable review was not required.
About the Author:
John A. Beck has always carried a passion for reading God's Word as well as a passion for exploring the natural world. His zest for both combines and comes to life in his clearly written books which challenge Bible readers to mature their understanding of the physical geography, human geography (culture), and natural history (plants and animals) of the biblical world. The Holy Spirit speaks geographically. Bible readers who tune their understanding of this language will never read their Bibles the same way again.
