Brief and yet powerful exposition of numerous Gospel accounts relating to Jesus's earthly ministry. . . . Jack helps us see good ways to connect the realities of the land of the Bible with our understanding of God's Word. --Michael A. Grisanti, PhD, chair of Old Testament department, Distinguished Research Professor of Old Testament, The Master's Seminary By pairing the background to the meaning of each gospel story, Beck has created a field guide to the Bible, brilliantly incorporating Jesus's invitational challenge of 'Come, follow me' in a way that will serve to benefit any Bible reader! --Jim Halbert, founding pastor Crossroads Church, Nampa, Idaho In short vignettes, Jack tours some 150 gospel stories using a simple format of asking who and where, what is this text about, and what does this text teach? Along the way, this consummate geographer and biblical scholar offers some memorable and pithy insights sure to find their way into any preacher's message. . . . This is a book that will stay on my desk and will be opened countless times. --C. Chappell Temple, PhD, Christ Church, Sugar Land, Texas It is good to follow a Bible teacher going through the Bible and understanding the historical and geographical settings of the biblical text. I am so happy to see this book in print for our devotional reading, too. I highly recommend this book. You will be blessed as you read through 150 key events of the Gospels. --Rev. Tan Eng Boo, pastor of Life-Bible Presbyterian Church, Singapore Weaving important cultural, geographical, and historical elements to each story, Dr. Beck has an extraordinary gift for reaching and communicating the heart of the gospel. . . . Offers a wealth of wonder, hope, comfort, and peace. --Marilyn Stull, Precept Ministries International, trainer and Bible study teacher Dr. John Beck has the unique ability to combine geographical insights with the practical application of biblical truth. His experience in the land of the Bible has equipped him well to share his personal insights in a way that will impact the spiritual lives of his readers. I have been personally blessed by John's books and enthusiastically recommend A Walking Tour of the Gospels. Reading his new book is like taking a hike through the gospels with an experienced guide and spiritual leader. --J. Carl Laney, professor emeritus, Western Seminary, Portland, Oregon For the disciples living in the first century, Jesus's teachings were tangible, practical, and real. That sense of immediacy has often become lost amidst voluminous commentaries on the Gospels that have over-stuffed bookshelves in the twenty centuries since. John A. Beck's newest book, A Walking Tour of the Gospels, makes Jesus's words accessible again. Each chapter is concise, to the point, and relevant, bringing a breath of fresh air to the divine-human touch of Jesus. Start your day with a stroll through A Walking Tour of the Gospels. Your journey will be blessed on the way. --Paul Wright, president emeritus, Jerusalem University College
