Loving the People of Israel
When most of us think about visiting the Holy Land, we think of the sights: the Sea of Galilee, the Mount of Olives, Bethlehem, and the Western Wall in Jerusalem. But after a few trips to Israel, Ward Hodges became consumed not with the places in Israel…but the people. Where that has lead him is what our conversation is all about this week on The Land and the Book. Join us!

Thou Shalt Innovate
Israel has certainly established itself as a “startup” nation. The Kindle was developed in Israel as was the popular travel app, Waze. Given its tiny size, Israel is playing a disproportionate role in helping solve some of the world’s biggest challenges. We'll look at some of the best in Israeli innovation this week on The Land and the Book. It’s a conversation we’ve titled, “Thou Shalt Innovate.” Don’t miss…The Land and the Book.
