Summary: An OK companion book, but not a good guide
Comment: Fills in some bits of info, but not good as a guide book. Something entitled "How To Walk in the Footsteps of Jesus" should be fairly expected to have a map of Jesus' travels during his ministry, but there is none. No map of Galilee or what there would be to see to trace Jesus' ministry. Terrible maps of ancient Israel and Jerusalem.

Summary: Excellent Take Along Book for Holy Land Tour
Comment: This is a MUST HAVE with you when you tour the Holy Land..either by yourself or with a group. Keep the book with you as you travel the Holy Land. In it the author tells you a short historical description and more importantly gives you Bible verses where it is mentioned in the Bible so that you can really get into the meaning and feelings of the Holy Land. The book is set up in alphabetical order by the name of the locations... very easy to follow and locate your area. I highly recommend this book as a carry along book on your trip to the Holy Land. It will add more meaning and insight into the experience.

Summary: Not helpful for guided tours
Comment: I recently returned from a trip to Israel and I had purchased this book before the trip as a guide. I never opened the book even once 1) because we had an excellent tour guide, and 2) because it includes way more places than what is necessary. The information in the book is quality but if you are going with a tour I wouldn't bother with it. If you are exploring on your own I would recommend it. I would like to see maps in this book to show where these locations are and perhaps organized by region rather than just alphabetically. If you want a great resource to take with you purchase the "DK Eyewitness Guide of Jerusalem and the Holy Land." I thoroughty enjoyed it.

Summary: A must have for pilgrim travel to Israel
Comment: 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.

Summary: AN OUTSTANDING WORK
Comment: 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.

The purpose of How to Walk in the Footsteps of Jesus and the Prophets is to enable the Christian pilgrim and tourist to look up a Biblical site quickly in its alphabetical form, read the Biblical references, and travel to the sites throughout Israel and the Kingdom of Jordan.
