Synopsis

Have you ever thought of going to Israel? To the land that God promised Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? And to Petra, the place that some think will be where God protects the Jewish remnant during the Great Tribulation? Or, to the sites of the seven churches of the book of Revelation? Or, the city of Rome, where many believe the Revived Roman Empire will rise in the last days? If you've already made a trip to one of those places, maybe you never prepared a keepsake diary, or cataloged your pictures; and, you wish you had some memento of your trip. Then, whether you've made that trip or not, you need to buy this book. It isn't about a vacation to those places, but A Pilgrimage to the Promised Land and Beyond. The book is a picture travelogue about our family's 21-day trip to Israel, Petra (in Jordan), the seven churches (in today's Turkey) and the city of Rome, Italy. Through the lens of Bible Prophecy, the book describes our travels, shows representative pictures and maps of the sites visited, and also provides additional in-depth studies of interesting locations and aspects of the trip. The Bible is a book of places. A trip to these places will live on in your mind's eye as you study the Bible or hear of these places in the news of the day. This book will give you a preview. As a good friend, who is a seminary professor, boldly recommends to his students, "It is the Lord's will for you to go to Israel!" This author agrees, whether you're a seminary student or not. Even if you've gone once or even twice, read the book and you'll want to go again. So, add it to your "bucket list" or make plans to go. We have!
