Jerusalem: Walking the Trail with Jesus is the final book of the Trilogy. It is the completion of 40 stories written on biblical trails within the Land of Israel. It invites the reader into a virtual journey with Jesus into the sites where He walked, taught, and did miracles.
How can one think that they are alone in this world? How can one think that they are the creator of their own lives and destiny? We are quite fragile human beings, mortal—and very much not immortal. If one is truly a seeker regarding the origins of their life and purpose, they will find what they are looking for—a reason for living.
This discovery comes from opening your heart, first to the possibility that there is a Creator. One who created all things—from the formation of the universe, to the creation of human beings. From studying those ancient books and researching the stories with an open mind, and asking the eternal question: “God, are you real?” “Is your son, Jesus, Truly the Messiah? “He will answer you. He promises this in Scripture, “You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:13).
This book on Jerusalem takes the reader to the ultimate purpose of “Why” Jesus came to earth. You will be with Him when He is with His disciples on the Mount of Olives, when He is gazing out over the city of Jerusalem and weeping for those in the city. As He approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace…” (Luke 19:41-42).
You will be with Him as He is in the Garden of Gethsemane, and His ultimate betrayal by Judas Iscariot. You will hear Peter’s denial, just as Jesus had prophesied. Concluding with Jesus’ crucifixion and His victorious resurrection three days later.
Also, included in this book is a brief story of the Holocaust and the subsequent salvation that comes from this—a homeland for the Jewish people—Israel. Can a nation truly be born in one day, as some believe was prophesied in Isaiah 66:8 regarding the returning of the Jewish people to the land promised to Abraham by God (Genesis 12:1-3; Genesis 15).
These stories will stir your heart and hopefully provoke you to asking many questions and search out the Scriptures yourself. As you study, faith will increase in your heart—and truly, may it be that you are aware that “Jesus is walking the trail with you!”
