5.0 out of 5 stars Hela Calls for the Stones to Tell the Gospel Story., December 27, 1999

By 

Rev. Lee A. Brooks (Jerusalem) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Walk in the Footsteps of Jesus and the Prophets: A Scripture Reference Guide for Biblical Sites in Israel and Jordan (Paperback)

Hela has managed to compile in this concise booklet the research of a lifetime that is dedicated to the search for the truth of Jesus and the prophets. Reading the book is like taking a giant step back into the past and seeing the Holy Land through the eyes of the biblical characters of that time period. Hela makes the very stones cry out to tell the story in bold relief as she points out the stones that remain from the Western Wall or the Eastern Gate of the Old City of Jerusalem. You can almost feel like one of the crowd that witnessed the Triumphal Entry of Jesus on Psalm Sunday. The Bible passages will take on new light after reading about the setting and history of the Scriptures. Hela's energetic style of writing will leave you breathless as you climb the hills around Tel Megiddo to view the valley of Armeggedon where the last great battle between good and evil will be waged. If you listen carefully you will be able to hear the clash of the warring factions. You will take a virtual tour of the Holy Land from Dan in the North to Be'er Sheva in the South as you read the pages of this book. But also at the same time she will take you from Jerusalem of Old to the New Jerusalem as it is described in the scriptures and seen by Abraham the patriarch and promised by Jesus to those who believe in Him.

All in All, you will feel like one of the wise men who had seen a great light.

I therefore Highly recommend the book to any serious Bible student or seasoned pastor or Bible teacher. It will give you an insight into the Scriptures that can only be gained by living many years in the Land by one who sees Yeshua as the only Messiah of Israel.

Rev. Lee A. Brooks, Church of God, Mount of Olives, Jerusalem, Israel

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for pilgrim travel to Israel, August 15, 2005

This review is from: How to Walk in the Footsteps of Jesus and the Prophets: A Scripture Reference Guide for Biblical Sites in Israel and Jordan (Paperback)

This is a wonderful little book that contains scriptural references for virtually all of the traditional Christian sites in Israel. It is invaluable to take along when viewing the various religious sites so that their biblical mention can be easily found and read. When I lead tours to the Holy Land, this book is one of three that I advise visitors to consider taking with them (the others are, "Holy Land" by Jerome Murphy-O'Connor, and "The Millennium Guide for Pilgrims to the Holy Land", by James H. Charlesworth.

This review is from: How to Walk in the Footsteps of Jesus and the Prophets: A Scripture Reference Guide for Biblical Sites in Israel and Jordan (Paperback)

As a traveller to the land of Israel twelve times I have been privileged to see first rate the expertise that went into the pages of this book and I have had many positve comments from those I have shared the book with. A preacher's son describes the part on the "Ark of The Covenant" as an exceptional writing done by an expert in her field. The book is a must for anyone going to the Holyland.
