The Basic Bible Atlas

In April, 2017, l led a group of over 30 on a trip to the Holy Land.  We traveled all the places you would want to visit - the Sea of Galilee, the Dead Sea, Capernaum, Bethlehem and Jerusalem to name just a few.  I just wish I had had "The Basic Bible Atlas" with me.

John Beck is an expert on the Holy Land.  His latest tool, "The Basic Bible Atlas" would have helped me put into context the places we were visiting with the larger part of Israel.  To read about the Mount of Olives and then consult the Atlas to see where it was in relation to the Garden of Gethsemane lets you use your imagination to picture what the journey from the Upper Room to the Garden might have been like.

Wonder where Canaan is? Where did David and Goliath's battle take place? Where was Jesus seen during those 40 days before His resurrection.  The answer to those questions and more are easily answered when you refer to "The Basic Bible Atlas!"
