From the Publisher

Picture yourself standing on Mount Carmel, witnessing Elijah's fiery showdown with the prophets of Baal . . . or hearing the ram's horn sound from Herod's temple at the very moment when Jesus is breathing his last breath. What would you think? How would you think? What meanings would the places and events of the Bible hold for you as a person of a different time and culture? Azekah, Qumran, the Mount of Olives . . . Philistine weaponry, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the refining of olive oil . . . thanks to the ministry Ray of Vander Laan and That the World May Know, you can understand their significance in a way that transforms your faith today. Filmed in Israel by Focus on the Family, the Church Pak video series helps small groups understand ancient cultures and events from the mindset of a citizen of those times. Thanks to the Zondervan Groupware approach, the Church Pak series provides a dynamic way for participants to engage with biblical truths in a life-changing, group-interactive format. Each volume in this 4-volume series includes an all-new Leader's Guide and Participant's Guide designed for maximum clarity, relevance, and ease of use. Drawing on Ray Vander Laan's video presentations, participants will enjoy spirited discussions and find practical applications that turn faith lessons learned from past millennia into faith lessons lived today. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
