2 Why did Jesus pick Samaria as the place to announce his messianic identity? Why did God lead Moses and the Israelites to Mount Horeb after they fled from Egypt? Why did the apostle John receive God's revelation on the island of Patmos? A Visual Guide to Bible Events illuminates the fascinating connections between Bible events and Bible locations. This beautiful, full-color book is filled with photographs, maps, and easy-to-read commentary. By exploring the relevance of place within biblical stories, this engaging volume brings the Bible alive to modern readers in a way no other book has done before.

This engaging book with maps, pictures and Scripture references is the next best thing to traveling with James Martin, one of the authors, through Israel, Jordan, Egypt and other Bible lands. The book helped me appreciate, relive, and share my travels.what an excellent resource for Sunday School

3 teachers and for anyone who wants to understand the geography, culture and people of the Bible better! The story of God's plan of redemption shines clearly as connections are made among many Bible events that occurred in the same location over time.highest praises for the authors, photographers and publisher. I am totally thrilled with the purchase of this book. It has amazing facts, and maps of the regions where Biblical events took place. Not only does it give a chronological history of the land of Israel, but gives reasoning attached to events. It is biblically correct. It has enhanced my knowledge of all of Israel, from Creation to Armegeddon.Coincidently we leave for Israel in the morning...i'd love to take it with me, but it's a bit heavy for Transatlantic travel. Thanks to the authors who wrote and compiled this great book. Excellent book on review of the Old and New Testament. It gives a much better understanding of the bible than just reading the many different versions of the bible that is available. The maps and pictures and drawings really bring the point home of exactly what the purpose was for certain events. This book links the story of God and his salvation for everyone, page by page, turn by turn. I read the entire book in about 3 days...could not put it down...so easy to understand...that is why I recommend this to anyone. It also helps foster my relationship with God in a better understanding. I understand the bible in a whole new way after reading this book. I'm actually starting to read it again from the beginning...it's such a good book. I recommended it to my twin brother because, admittedly, the Old Testament can get rather tedious to read. This book is kind of like the Cliff Notes for the Old and New Testament.LOVE IT!!! This volume includes plenty of maps and pictures (of places and archaeological artifacts as well) to give a good overview of the Bible. I would recommend this to someone who wants to get a good overview of things they can (and will) see in a trip to the Holy Land and the Middle East. Every page has something on it that makes it interesting to read (besides the text of that section). If someone wanted to just get a chronological overview of the Bible, I think this would be the one resource they would want. This book, written by a team of experts, does an outstanding job of explaining the relationship between WHERE a Biblical event happened and WHY it happened where it did. We had no idea of the importance of having an understanding of the geography of the Holy Land until we read this

4 publication. For example, we did not know what the difference was between the feeding of the 5000 and the feeding of the 4000, and why those two events happened specifically where they did. This book clearly explains that and numerous other key events. It has wonderful archival and current photos, drawings and maps to enhance each description. It is written in an engaging manner and includes a detailed bibliography at the back if you want to further pursue a topic. We got so much out of this publication...well worth the investment!! Just received and I briefly flipped through this beautiful book. Wonderful color photos of Biblical places with a write up and maps. These write ups are not in depth but do give a sense of the artifacts of the time. There is a Notes section that directs the reader to more in depth information and a Scripture index but there is no index of specific places.later...after reading / reviewing half of this book so far, I have found numerous bits of information that help in my understanding of Biblical statements that before I had just glossed over. There is truly a reason why an event happened or happened in a specific place. Truly beneficial! The maps help me determine exactly where a specific Bible situation happened. This book has great maps and pictures. The descriptions for each event are brief and simple. This would be A great book for a teenager!this is not a good book to take to a Bible study due to its size.now that I've written 20+ words-holman QuickSource Bible atlas with charts and Biblical reconstruction. This is a 400 page book sold by for about $10.00 used.-a great book for AdultsIts small size makes it great for taking to a Bible study. It lists all the judges from Othniel to Samuel what they did how long they judged. The same is true for the kings of Israel and Judah. The rulers of assyria from Ashurnasirpal II ( ) to Ashurbanipal II ( ) are listed with what they did.i am VERY dyslexic spelling and knowing how to pronounce names is a real problem for me. I wish there was a software version of this book (with audio) so I could hear how to pronounce these names and places!holman QuickSource Bible Atlas with Charts and Biblical Reconstructions (Holman Quicksource Guides) by Wright, Paul published by Holman Reference Paperback A Visual Guide to Bible Events: Fascinating Insights into Where They Happened and Why A Visual Guide to Gospel Events: Fascinating Insights into Where They Happened and Why From Zero to Sixty on Hedge Funds and Private Equity 3.0: What They Do, How They Do It, and Why They Do The Mysterious Things They Do Event Planning: The Ultimate Guide To Successful Meetings, Corporate Events, Fundraising Galas, Conferences, Conventions, Incentives and Other Special
