The Holy Land for Christian Travelers
An Illustrated Guide to Israel
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.
I highly recommend you purchase the book some time before your trip and then read it again after you return as you will, no doubt, miss some things that your travel guide will point out.

The maps, artistic reconstructions, site explanations, timelines, etc., help make this guide the best one on the market. You won’t want to travel to Israel without this guide in your backpack.

This eminently readable book reflects a good deal of his course’s lecture hall and onsite instruction. I bought The Holy Land for Christian Travelers and two months later I gave it a field test in Israel. My buddy and I flew to Tel Aviv, rented a car, and traveled all over Israel armed only with a road map, GPS, and Jack’s book. This book was of inestimable value as we traveled to the various biblical sites.
Timothy
This book provides an outstanding introduction to the land of Israel, as well as accurate descriptions of the most important sites.
