This long-needed book is a treasury of everyday information on the Palestine of Bible times. It answers clearly and simply such questions as:  What were the houses like? What kind of food did the people eat? How did they "make their living"? What games did the children play? What animals and birds and trees and flowers did they see? What were the festivals like? And the pilgrimages to Jerusalem? Fifty pictures illustrate and amplify the text.

A Picture Book of Palestine has behind it the authority of the author's years of Biblical study and research; in addition, it has been carefully authenticated by both Christian and Jewish scholars.  Facts are stated, not interpreted, so the book will be acceptable to all, regardless of creed.

Although written and illustrated with younger readers in mind, this is a book which has no age limit.
