The Holy Land

November 15-25, 2006

THE HOLY LAND

The biblical history of this little land, Israel, lies buried four millennia deep. At some places it is but a few inches beneath the surface of the soil; at others, it is embedded beneath the strata of a dozen civilizations. Join NOBTS for a thrilling tour to the Land of the Bible. It will be a step back into sacred history, and a leap forward in your spiritual journey!
