"REFLECTIONS OF GOD'S HOLY LAND" A personal Journey Through Israel

Eva Marie Everson and Miriam Feinberg Vamosh compel readers to enjoy every page of their personal journey through Israel.

Eva’s welcome shares an everyday experience of a fall. Yet even the mundane-can-happen-to-anyone-fall is an invitation to experience her thrill with new insight while on a visit to Israel. Everson wrote, “Today I fell into the Bible. Literally. And in love with God all over again.”

Although written by two authors,it is Everson’s fall that compels the reader to delve into the book, to consume each tid bit of fact on every page.

The photography is more than the usual family, “See my vacation snaps.” The reader can experience the realness of each location—you smell the salt brine of the Dead Sea, hear the water falls, and feel life as it exudes from the shops on the Via Dolorosa.

You sense the reverence needed to visit the cathedrals, you want to kneel to touch the mosaic floor of the “Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and the Fishes.”

I cried when Everson reflected on her experience when she touched the Western Wall.“I press my face into the wall and begin to sob. I don’t understand this. I thought I knew so much about prayer—about God….”

When a reader spends time absorbing the “Did You Know?” and “Reflections” pages found in "Reflections of God’s Holy Land", you understand Everson’s statement, “Here, I realize, I know nothing at all.”

When I closed the book, I too felt enriched and changed. This is more than a coffee table book to display the beauty of Israel, it is a heart and mind changing experience, a must have for anyone interested in the life and times of Israel.

I invite anyone that desires to feel God through His chosen country to buy "Reflections of God’s Holy Land." One for their home and two for Christmas gifts.

My thanks to Thomas Nelson, Inc for publishing this book, and Everson and Vamosh for sharing their experience.
