In May 2015 I traveled to Israel to take Dr. Jack Beck's three-week biblical geography course at Jerusalem University College in Jerusalem. This course featured in-depth class lecture plus a lot of fieldwork at the sites we studied in class. I cannot recommend this course highly enough. Jack knows his stuff and communicates it well. Not only that, he is also a genuinely nice Christian gentleman.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’ in August 2017 (Kindle version), 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. Israel is a tiny country; you can travel border-to-border north to south in a few hours and west to east in even less time. In our eleven days, we pretty much went from Dan to Beersheba and from the Mediterranean coast to the Dead Sea--and many points in between. This book was of inestimable value as we traveled to the various biblical sites. I recommend reading it carefully in advance of your trip, underlining key thoughts for quick reference once you’re in the land.Anyone interested in knowing more about the land of the Bible and how it impacts biblical understanding MUST read ‘The Holy Land for Christian Travelers.’ Whether or not you ever make it to Israel, it will provide wonderful insights into the land where Abraham migrated, Isaac and Jacob lived, and David slew Goliath. You’ll be able to travel the coastal highway and the mountain ridge route where the ancient peoples journeyed. You can actually visit the area where Jesus spent most of his life, and where he did most of his ministry, and where He was crucified and rose again. I was so blessed by this book during my time in Israel that I plan to take my wife in a few months and, with Jack’s book, introduce her to “The Land.â€
The best book I have read thus far in preparation to visit the Holy Land! We are Catholic homeschoolers, and this book is chock-full of educational information that brings the places together with the Bible in a visual way unlike other books, even those with more pictures. Though the Bible references do not coincide with our Douay Rheims Bible, we know what the author is referring to and can look the passages up on our own after reading his book. Thank you for including Catholic information, too, and providing a wholly Christian view of the Holy Land!
The content of this book wasn't what I expected from other reviews. It omitted a lot of fantastic sites in the Holy Land (maybe because they were not specifically Christian?) and just didn't seem to have much depth to it. Maybe try to see a copy at a library before ordering?
This book is a companion, to the Bible, as well as the perfect travel guide. I have bought two, for gifts, and they are easy to read, jammed packed with information that is factual and fascinating. I love the maps and all the time lines, throughout the history of the Bible, modern as well as historical. This book encourages the reader to book a tour, to go to the Holy Land, and for a person who is a novice at travelling, it even has all the steps and precautions, that one needs to prepare, to go to the Holy Land. The only thing is doesn't do is pack your suitcase for you. So thrilled I have a copy, as it brings my Bible to life, and I shall be buying all the books of John A Beck, because he is speaking from experience, and he can be trusted, to deliver an accurate account of his travel experiences in the Holy Land.
I am a travel agent specializing in tours to Israel so I've seen almost every travel guide to Israel available. This is one of the better travel guides I've seen. There are many aspects of this book that are excellent. Let me start with those.EXCELLENT:-Great size and very nicely laid out; easy to read-Love the blue highlights at the end of each site with information about the site such as directions, dress, fees, etc.-The maps and timelines are OUTSTANDING!-Excels in geography and climateLACKING:-There is minimal information for Trip Prep, prayer prep, Bible study prep, and general FAQ about Israel-There is so much fascinating information on the various cultures within Israel, the history of Israel and the Jewish people. Aside from a summary of the various civilizations that conquered Israel, this is practically non-existent.-The itineraries are what really threw me off. WAY too much in a day! If I had that much in each day, I'd lose business; my tour groups would be complaining and totally exhausted running from site to site without much time to process the site, take photos, or even look around.-I was surprised how many of the sites included in the itineraries were sites that probably less than 5% of tours visit or sites that second-timers might have time to see, like: Burnt House, Wohl Archaeological Museum, Tower of David Museum, Tisch Family Zoological Gardens???, Jericho on the same day as Masada, En Gedi, Qumran, and the Dead Sea (not possible), Ein Kerem, Neot Kedumim Park, Beth Shemesh, Beit Guvrin, Lachish, Hebron, Gezer, Samaria, Ashkelon, En Avdat, and it goes on and on!-Why include so many Catholic religious buildings on the Mount of Olives and Via Dolorosa?-Sites sorely missing that are, from my perspective, non-negotiable, for first visits: Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum, Friends of Zion Museum, Nazareth Village, boat ride on the Galilee, and... Genesis Land and Fountain of Tears if there's any extra time at allSo, I give a solid three-star review. But it is BEAUTIFUL!
Love this guide! It’s just what I’d hoped it would be, i.e. not a guide to hotels, restaurants, etc. but the history and importance to Christians of the significant places in the Holy Land!
