Reviews

[Denise]

The photography is gorgeous, binding is shoddy, and the scholarship is poor.

My mother gave me this book for Christmas as we are scheduled to go on a trip to the Holy Land at the end of March this year. It has beautiful pictures and follows the Bible's timeline with a narrative taken partially from the Bible. The narrative is primarily focused on the Christian Bible but also acknowledges the other two major religions rooted in the area - Judaism and Islam.

This book may have the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen.
