Almost as Good as a Visit There

If you have been longing to make a visit to the Holy Land, so that you can see the places associated with Jesus and His ministry, this book is one way you can go, without leaving home. Ken Duncan's photos are glorious and inspirational, sometimes surprising and sometimes just what you would have pictured in your mind's eye from having read scripture.

This book also has a lovely selection of passages from familiar Christian authors, including Max Lucado, G. K. Chesterton, E. Stanley Jones and Tony Campolo. Many of the photographs are of panoramic scenes, while many others are close ups of details such as the widow's mite and other coins from the time of Jesus.

I was particularly taken by the photo of the 2000+ year old Zacchaeus Tree--commonly believed to be the tree that Zacchaeus climbed in order to see Jesus as he arrived in Jericho. Also very inspiring were the photos of fishermen on the Sea of Galilee, shepherds and sheep in the fields near Bethlehem, the pools of Siloam and Bethesda. Duncan, who is a world-class photographer, also looks with the eyes of faith on these hallowed places, and allows us a sense of their wonder and mystery.

It would be hard to find such fine photographic resources anywhere else between the covers of one volume. And no other book that I know of can show you such wonders as "Sunrise Through Flowers on the Mount of Beatitudes." Looking at glorious compositions such as this helps one realize the how achingly beautiful are these places Jesus walked.

This book would be a good resource for those who teach the New Testament as well as those who study it, for pastors and Christian Education Directors, for those who are planning a trip to these sacred sites and those who want to remember a past visit there. It is a book to enjoy and a book to give.

Excellent!
This book is a wonderful review of the places Jesus walked accompanied by Bible quotes and inspirational messages from spiritual people we will all recognize today. I loved it so much I bought copies for friends and family as a gift! I highly recommend it if you have ever wanted to "see" where Jesus lived, preached and walked amoung us.

Where Jesus Walked by Duncan
This book is perfect for persons planning to travel to the
Middle East in the area of Jerusalem, Bethlehem, the Jordan River,
Egypt and the North of Israel. The book includes full-length
pictures depicting the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem;
Herod's Palace in Herodion, Palestine, Mary's Wall in Nazareth,
Israel, the Pyramids of Giza at sunrise, the aqueduct at Caesarea,
the Holy Grotto in Nazareth, the Jordan River where Christ was
baptized, the Mount of the Temple at Jerusalem and the Zacchaeus
tree over 2000 years old.

The book is a perfect prelude to a formal visit to Israel in
order to provide a preview of the historic sites.
