When the war broke out in Israel, we heard about the “safe rooms” where families went to take refuge from the missile attacks. But what are those safe rooms really like? This week on The Land and the Book, we’re heading for Israel where we go inside a safe room. You’ll feel like you’re right there with us. Plus, Charlie Dyer looks at the latest Bible questions you’ve been asking—and then shares his devotional, “A Fishy Tax Story.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Inside a Safe Room

Most of the Bible’s events unfolded in Israel. But not all. In fact, many key moments took place on the other side of the Jordan River. But would you believe that believers today in modern Jordan have access to quality Bible training? You’ll discover some of what God is doing in Jordan as you listen to The Land and the Book.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

October 7…Hamas fired 3000 rockets... invaded Israel…and killed more 1200. Shockingly, that tragedy looks remarkably similar to an attack on Israel that took place back in the Old Testament. This week on The Land and the Book, we’ll take you to a site called Lachish. The biblical account is chilling—but bears a striking resemblance to things we just witnessed.

The Hamas Attack—as Seen in the Old Testament

For 259 days, they witnessed abuse, torture and execution in Iran’s most infamous prison. Then…they were released. But where would God lead them next? That’s our story this week on The Land and the Book. Plus, we’ll bring you the stories behind the headlines in the Middle East. Also…technological breakthroughs from Amazing Israel.

Released from Prison

Living in Iran, they knew they were putting their lives on the line—every time they shared their faith. Undaunted, in three years, they’d started two house churches and secretly given away more than 20,000 New Testaments. That’s when the police finally caught up with them. “Captive in Iran” is the amazing story of their arrest and ordeal in Iran’s most notorious prison. You’ll hear it all this week on The Land and the Book. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
