Staycation with Jesus-Destination Israel

By: Gail Holman

Travel to Israel from your favorite reading place. Experience what it might have been like to be in the crowd following Jesus and the disciples.

Take a holy roller coaster ride, climb Mount Tabor and spend the night with the disciples, prayer-walk in the moonlight after the last Passover supper, and experience escape rooms.

Other book

Imagine being in Jerusalem during Passover week. Watch as Jesus rides the donkey past the olive trees down the mountainside. Worship with the widow as she gives her last two coins. Go with the Greeks to seek Jesus at the temple. Feel the chill as the sun dims on Friday. Grieve with the disciples on the day after the crucifixion. Rejoice with Mary of Magdala as she tells her niece about the resurrection.

Use these short fictional stories to enhance your preparation for the Easter celebration. Reflect on how the characters are affected by their encounters with Jesus. This is appropriate for Bible study groups, family worship, personal growth or as a gift for comfort or evangelism.

Bonus: Fourteen original poems including Sneaky Christmas, The Broken Stained Glass Window and award winning, In the Attic of My Mind.
