Summary

The world’s most inexpensive and unique tour to Israel. 

Join Holy Land expert and tour guide Dr. Charlie Dyer on a trip through Israel. Blending history, rich biblical teaching, and humor, Experiencing the Land and the Book: A Life-Changing Journey through Israel connects its travelers to fifty highlights—all through stories and an illustrated travelogue. Readers will be captivated by the more than 260 color images of places like Caesarea, Mount Carmel, Nazareth, the Sea of Galilee, the Dead Sea, Jericho, and more! Yet, rather than a mere history lesson or catalog of facts, you’ll experience a trip—minus the jet lag, sunscreen, and lines.  

The Holy Land is full of rocks and stony ruins. But a successful trip to Israel will also bring the traveler into contact with “living stones”—people. Dyer invites you to connect to the sites emotionally as well as intellectually as he intertwines three beautiful and rich story cords. Get ready to make some new friends! You’ll connect with the biblical story. You’ll laugh and learn from the vast collection of tales Dyer’s accumulated on his many trips over the years. And you’ll form your own story along the way!  

If you’ve always wanted to experience Israel, but haven’t had the opportunity, this book will transport you to the streets and acquaint you with the people. Or if you have been blessed to visit these sacred places and want to relive the experience, this book will bring you right back to the sights, smells, and emotional ties.
