Episode 106: Why you must visit the Land of the Book?
Manage episode 350517687 series 2934408
Why visiting Israel is a must for every Christian? For some people the answer may seem obvious, for others the idea of visiting Israel seems scary, impossible, or perhaps overrated.
In this episode, our host Helen Todd is joined by Charles Dyer, a professor-at-large of Bible at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and co-host of The Land and the Book radio program.
Charlie has traveled extensively throughout the Middle East for 40 years, leading over 100 trips, and is a prolific author, having just published his most recent book: Experiencing the Land of the Book: A Life-Changing Journey through Israel. In their conversation, Helen and Charlie talk about Christmas in Israel, spiritual and educational benefits of visiting the land of the Bible and hilarious stories from their past visits.
