BOOK REVIEW: 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 that land and walk in the footsteps of Jesus.MY REVIEW: This is a lovely guide book. It is heavy and the pages are glossy. Several color maps are included, and each entry is divided into areas:
Jerusalem: Walkable Sites in and near the Old City
Jerusalem and Beyond: Drivable Sites outside the Old City
Coastal Plain
Central Mountains South
Central Mountains Center
Central Mountains North
These divisions allow you to plan your stops according to the different areas you want to see and how long you have to spend in the Holy Land. They are also marked to indicate which stops are especially recommended to visit. And not only does this book tell you where a place is, it also tells you whether it requires payment or modest dress, and sometimes what time of day is better to visit.
Even if you don't plan to visit the Holy Land, you can use this book simply to learn the significance of different places. It is neat to read through and really catch the importance of biblical landmarks. It's quite the informative book.
I received a copy of this book from BAKER BOOKS per their blogger program, and was only asked to write an honest review.
