The Rock, the Road, and the Rabbi 

By

Kathie Lee Gifford with Rabbi Jason Sobel

 

In The Rock, the Road, and the Rabbi, Kathie Lee Gifford shares how experiencing Israel firsthand has deepened her faith. As she describes her own journey through the Holy Land, Messianic Rabbi Jason Sobel expounds on the language and culture to enhance our understanding of:

The Rock: Jesus Christ, the Messiah

The Road: Israel, the Promised Land

The Rabbi: The Bible, the Word of God

 

As one of the tour guides explained, "…the Bible was written by Middle Easterners for Middle Easterners. But we try to understand it with a Western mindset. We try to apply our own principles and our Western understanding to a culture that is completely foreign to us."

By walking the same paths in the Bible and studying the language, culture, and history of the Middle East, we can develop a deeper understanding and faith. But it's not just a lesson in social studies or religion. Kathie Lee's husband, Frank Gifford, after a lifetime of Christian religion, realized for the first time a very personal relationship with Jesus when he visited Israel.

Join Vickie and Jasa on the podcast to hear some of Vickie's personal experiences in Israel and her thoughts on the book. There is nothing like walking "The Road" (Israel) yourself in person. But if you don't have the opportunity to visit and experience Israel for yourself, this book will effectually take you there.
