Overview

Many Christians who take a tour of Israel for the first time feel overwhelmed with all of the information being presented to them. Professional guides speak between stops and at each stop. They not only discuss biblical events that occurred at each site, but also historical events from the time of Abraham to the present. So much information is given that people feel like they are drinking from a fire hydrant. Guidebooks to Israel can be helpful, but they often give an enormous amount of information. What is needed, especially for beginners, is a simple explanation of a few basic things. In A Simple Guide to Biblical Israel, G. Michael Cocoris, a Bible teacher known for making complex concepts simple, provides a framework for the information presented on a tour of Israel. For example, tour guides refer to historical events that occurred throughout the land of Israel, both secular and sacred. This book provides a simple outline of the conquerors of the land from the Canaanites to the present. It also includes a historical outline of the Bible. In addition, this volume lists the six trials of Christ and the 14 stations of the cross. No tour covers all six trials of Christ, but knowing about the six trials of Christ puts the stop at Caiaphas's house in context. The major biblical sites in Israel are listed with brief explanations of what happened there. No tour today can cover all those sites, but the sites visited are included. Tours of Israel are filled with historical and geographical information, all of which is helpful, but the ultimate focus should be the spiritual truths revealed in Israel. Suggestions are offered on how to benefit spiritually from a tour of Israel. A Simple Guide to Biblical Israel will make all the information given on a tour of Israel more understandable and, therefore, make the trip more profitable.
