More Description

In this pictorial guide to Israel, Dennis Newkirk reveals not only his love for this land and its people but also its rich history. The Pilgrim's Journey to Israel leads you from the coastal plains of Caesarea Maritima on the Mediterranean Sea, to the northern Galilean towns of Jesus' ministry, to the magnificent sites of Jerusalem, to the southern barren sites of Masada and the Dead Sea--photographs of more than twenty-five sites. In addition to ancient ruins, structures memorializing Christianity's most significant historical sites, and the land, Newkirk has photographed the ordinary people who worship at the Western Wall, rush to prayer in the Old City Jerusalem streets, and offer their goods for sale in booths lining the streets. He captures the contrast of sunlight streaming through the dome of the magnificent Church of the Holy Sepulchre and a simple sunset on the Sea of Galilee. His nighttime photos of Tiberias, the Western Wall, and Temple Mount at night are stunning.In addition, Newkirk offers informative history, biblical references, and devotional thoughts for many of the sites. For those who have visited the Holy Land, let this book be a beautiful reminder of the sites you've seen. For others, let this book deepen your Bible study, as you'll now be able to picture the settings for many of the stories.
