A Fresh Look at God's Story in Its Historical and Cultural Contexts

See the Bible through a New Lens, from Beginning to End In Rediscovering Israel, you will experience the living God and His Word as never before! Bestselling author and professor Kristi McLelland invites you to explore the biblical narrative in the historical, cultural, geographic, and linguistic contexts in which it was written. As you do so, you will - experience Scripture as a timeless, transformational Story demonstrating God's love and faithfulness - string biblical pearls to encounter the Bible as one cohesive storyline rather than a book of stand-alone accounts - celebrate the richness of Scripture while discovering unique cultural idioms and customs - share in the joys, curiosities, and insights gained through Kristi's adventures in Israel Whether you are preparing for pilgrimage to Israel or you desire to experience a fresh encounter with Scripture, Rediscovering Israel offers a welcome blend of biblical truth, faithful research, and personal reflections that will enrich your interactions with God's Word. Kristi McLelland weaves history, culture, and personal experience to celebrate Scripture as one timeless, transformational Story, rooted in its original contexts. "If you've ever wanted to go to Israel-or want to go again-Rediscovering Israel will transport you there. Seeing Israel through Middle Eastern eyes, through the cultural lens of Jesus' world and His life, is absolutely transformative. I traveled to Israel with Kristi in 2019, and traveled again with her while reading this book. The pictures, descriptions, and details place you right there in the Land. People say that, after a pilgrimage to Israel, you never read the Bible in the same way again, and they're right. But reading this book did that for me too. It brought the Living Word of God even more alive, and I'm forever grateful." -Tamera Alexander, USA Today bestselling author of A Million Little Choices "My wife and I have had the privilege and honor of walking with Kristi McLelland for many, many years. Since the beginning, we have been moved by her teaching and ability to break down God's Word to where you can begin to grasp and understand the depth of God's truth and love. A few years ago, we were able to go to Israel with Kristi and we were blown away by how God used Kristi and the land of Israel to bring us into a deeper walk with Jesus. Kristi is a sincere servant of God who seeks to encourage believers in their pursuit of Christ." -TobyMac, contemporary Christian recording artist "Kristi McLelland has an exceptional ability to make sense of the Scriptures from a Middle Eastern perspective. Rediscovering Israel is a user-friendly gem, tracing God's redemptive plan, within the Land, from start to finish, never overlooking the primary plot of the story when she says, '?so that the world will bear witness to Him [Jesus].' This is why our students crave Kristi's teaching. I predict you will as well." -Edward M. Smith, president of Williamson College, Franklin, TN "I have been waiting for a book from Kristi McLelland since the day I first heard her speak. This has surpassed anything I hoped for. Kristi's ability to serve a complex meal in bite-sized morsels invites you into a most beautiful feast. From Genesis to Revelation, this book shows us Jesus in a way that can only leave us loving Him more." -Melinda Doolittle, recording artist "This book provides priceless insights that will enhance, broaden, and deepen your appreciation of the Bible. Having traveled to the Holy Land on a team led by Kristi, I can confidently say that Rediscovering Israel is as close to that experience as I could have hoped for." -Curtis Zackery, pastor, author of Soul Rest "Are you ready to have your mind explode and your heart expand at the same time?
