Some of you are "readers" who love digging into things historical. To help you out, here is a short list of books for your consideration.
You can order any of these books from our friends Arnie and Kelly Boedecker right here in Minocqua at their Cornerstone Books and Gifts store: 10329 Hwy 70, Minocqua 54548-9708 Phone: 715-358-5222. Or you can order online by following the links below.
This book is by our tour guide Susan Marcus and has been translated into several languages. So if you order it, be sure to specify English as your language preference.
I was able to find it here: Enter His Gates in Madison.
Their price is $15.95 plus shipping.
I don't know anything about this book store, so I'm not endorsing it...simply letting you know of a place to find it onlne. There are other bookstores online that sell the book and of course Arnie and Kelly (above) can order it for you too. Give'em a call! 715-358-5222

Click here to go directly to this book's page on Christian Book Distributors: Jerusalem & the Holy Land book page
$15.99 plus shipping and has a new cover.
This book is more overview and "travel guide" in nature as opposed to being heavy in Christian teaching about the sites. Helpful in getting a sense of the land and culture. When you go to the page on Christian Book Distributors that displays this book (by clicking above) click on the "Additional Views" link that is just below the image of the book. It will take you to an inside view of several of the books pages. I found this to be helpful in doing a quick evaluation of what the book might cover.
It looks very good for its overview purpose, and that Christian Book Distributors stocks it, is an endorsement of sorts.
But again, Arnie and Kelly can order it for you too. 715-358-5222

I ran across this book also at Christian Book Distributors. It is published by Moody Press, which says all you need to know. This book includes travel tips, which I was glad to read, are similar to the travel tips I provide...meaning I'm not leading you astray! :-)
$12.99 plus shipping. Here's the link: The Christian Traveler's Guide to the Holy Land Once again, click on the "Additional Views" link to get a snap shot of the table of contents. Each of the two travel guides I've listed, has their benefits. I'm not sure you'd want to buy both in that you'd have more than 500 pages of reading with their combined total, but who knows, you might just want that!
If I was going to pick one, I'd pick the one from Moody, right here, but that's just me. As you look at the "Additional Views" links and see more about what is covered in each, you may prefer the other. I have not read either by the way, and am just doing some research on books that would be helpful for the trip.
