How Jesus Used Geography to Tell God’s Story
The parables and miracles of Jesus are often viewed in isolation from other parts of the Bible. In so doing, we actually minimize critical details! But this week on The Land and the Book, Dr. John A. Beck demonstrates how geography actually connects Scriptural events. When you and I learn to do the same, our Bible study is seriously amped up! Don’t miss this fascinating conversation on The Land and the Book…from Moody Radio.

Land Without Borders
Jack Beck says “Wilderness is not just an ecosystem. It’s a season of life. Once you understand the correlation of geography to story, you’ll read the Bible differently.” This week on The Land and the Book, hike with us out into the wilderness. You’ll see it all with fresh eyes, we promise. Plus…you’ll discover how the landscape of Scripture can heighten your own spiritual experience.

The Messianic Movement
You rarely hear about it or read about it. But it’s happening around the globe. More and more Jewish people are claiming Jesus as Messiah. What’s happening with the Messianic Movement? You’ll be encouraged and stimulated when you join us this week for The Land and the Book. Plus, we’ll take a fast-paced tour of the entire Middle East, updating you on all the major news stories…on The Land and the Book.
