“With precision and passion, Sandra Teplinsky weaves a wealth of material
and presents a compelling case why we still need to care about Israel.
It’s a powerful treatise and treasure.”
—Chris Mitchell, Jerusalem bureau chief, CBN News;
author, Dateline Jerusalem
As the Gaza Conflict heats up, and the Jewish-Muslim relationship grows increasingly tense,
the spotlight of world events is focusing ever more intently on Israel, and believers are in a
quandary about what to think of the Holy Land. In this updated and urgent book, Sandra
Teplinsky, an American-Israeli Jewish believer, unravels the mystery and controversy of
Israel.
With biblical insight, thorough documentation and a gentle but firm approach to a topic
that typically generates strident controversy, Teplinsky explains how the significance of this
land affects all believers. Every reader, whether casually interested or seeking depth on this
crucial topic, will be touched by Teplinsky’s thoughtful exploration of a people living in the
front pages of prophecy.
