Israel is a land that is defined by its history, recent and ancient. It seems that each hilltop contains the remnants of a city or was the site of a sermon. In every valley there was a battle fought or a miracle performed. There are more places to visit and more events to discuss than is possible in any one visit to the Holy Land. Most visitors are able to see only a small percentage of the places and sites available to them. Nor is there time to focus even on those few places which are visited. Many times we are too rushed getting from one place to the next to really understand what is being seen. For that reason, the visitor to the Holy Land who will have the most profound experience is the one who takes the time to prepare in advance. This book is intended to aid in that preparation and is especially written for the LDS visitor. Update July 2012
