Life on the Gaza Border
She grew up in the suburbs of Chicago but then moved to southern Israel. Deborah’s firsthand account of life on the Gaza border—and the October 7 attack—is chilling. But this week on The Land and the Book, she also shares disturbing evidence of how hatred for Jews is instilled in the youngest of Palestinian children. This is an eye-opening conversation you’ll be sharing over dinner. So don’t miss this week’s edition of The Land and the Book.

Ruth's Reminder
When Ruth’s husband died, she was tempted to feel alone. When she moved to another country, she was tempted to feel alone. But the biblical story of Ruth is a striking reminder that with God, we are never alone. This week on The Land and the Book, we'll learn what made Ruth tick. Charlie Dyer also gives us some advice in his devotional, "Avoid the Lazy Days of Summer." I hope you'll join us for The Land and the Book.

Inside Israel—Update
He's just back from a trip to Israel. But he wasn't touring. He was LEARNING. How profound is the impact of the Hamas war on Israel? What's next for the nation that Hamas—and others—want to destroy completely? This week on The Land and the Book, it’s an update…from Israel. Plus, Charlie Dyer’s devotional reminds us of what IS…versus what SHOULD be. All on The Land and the Book.
