What does it mean to be Jewish? And what makes Jewish culture so meaningful for believers—whether Jewish or not? The truth is most people miss the brilliant tapestry of culture that is the Jewish heritage. But a significant world lies at the intersection of Jewish experiences and expression. We’ll explore that world this week on The Land and the Book. And don’t miss Charlie Dyer’s devotional, T’was the Night Before--on The Land and the Book.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Inside Israel — Stories of Hurt, Help, and Hope

Jacob came to America from Israel with one goal in mind: to make money—and lots of it. But then he met the Messiah. Immediately, Jacob lost his home, his job and all hope for the future. Still, he shared about Christ fearlessly—even when physically assaulted. This week on The Land and the Book, we’ll share the remarkable story of Jacob Gartenhaus. Plus, we’ll bring you all the headlines from the Middle East—from a biblical perspective. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Remarkable Jacob Gartenhaus

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.

Bible Seminary in Jordan!

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.
