Have you ever wanted to visit Israel, the land where so much of the Bible took place?

I hope the following videos (definitely NOT professionally done) can help you experience what it’s like. I visited Israel in the summer of 2018 and took plenty of pictures and videos, and journaled prolifically.

I combined them into a PowerPoint slide show and then hit “Record” so that I could talk you through each picture and video. Hopefully, the following videos will widen your horizons to the land of the Bible and help you see the stories in your Bible in a fresh, fascinating light.

Just click “Play” on each video to watch.
