God has chosen to reveal himself to humankind in various ways at
various times. Each of these encounters occurred in real, physical
locations. Even visions--such as Jacob's ladder or John's
Apocalypse--came to people in a particular place. Place is
inextricably woven into the story of Scripture, and it's one of the
most meaningful ways in which we can encounter God today. Linking
these locations with Scripture, reflection questions, prayer, and
life-changing insight drawn from more than a quarter century of
leading travelers through the Holy Land, John A. Beck offers you a
devotional like no other. Illustrated with beautiful full-color
photos, The Holy Land Devotional features the sites that Christian
pilgrims most often visit, allowing you to walk in the footsteps of
people like Jacob, Joshua, Gideon, Ruth, David, Martha, Peter, and,
of course, Jesus. Whether you've been to the Holy Land, are
planning a trip, or just want to know more about the land where
Jesus walked, this devotional invites you to grow closer to God as
you hear him speaking in and through the Holy Land.
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.
The Bible tells the story of God meeting real people in a real time
and place, yet we rarely take the time to wonder, Why there? Maybe
we have a hard time even picturing where there is. To begin to
fully understand the Bible, we must understand the geographical
settings of Scripture and how each place participates in the
biblical story. With its colorful maps, The Basic Bible Atlas helps
us link geography to Bible study so we can understand how place
impacted events in the Bible. From Eden to Egypt, from the promised
land to Persia, from Bethlehem to the New Jerusalem, The Basic
Bible Atlas is a fascinating guide to the land of the Bible. Your
Bible study will never be the same.
