In this innovative guidebook Julie Baretz takes readers to twenty-one off-the-beaten-path locations in Israel where Bible stories are said to have happened. At each site she sets the scene by relating the historical context of the event, then follows with the biblical text itself and her own lively commentary. Captivating and complex Bible characters bring the locations to life as they face social, ethical, and spiritual dilemmas not unlike our own today. Baretz's narratives draw on history, archaeology, academic scholarship, and rabbinic literature for interpretations that enhance the meaning of the biblical events. Each story is told in the voice of Baretz as the tour guide--knowledgeable yet informal and friendly.
The Bible on Location traces the chronology and narrative arc of the historical books of Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings, Ezra, and Nehemiah. The book begins with the Israelites' arrival in the land of Israel (following the exodus from Egypt and the forty years of wandering) and continues over more than six hundred years, until the return of the Jewish exiles from Babylon to their homeland.
Baretz's descriptions are accompanied by colorful maps and photographs that put actual and armchair visitors in the middle of the action. Each location reveals a new episode in the biblical narrative and provides inspiration and commentary that will enhance visits to the various sites.

Jerusalem has no strategic value. It has no oil, water, or gold. Yet people from all over the world wept for it, prayed for it, and dreamed of it for millennia. As soon as you get there, you see why.
Whenever you plan to visit, make sure you have the Jerusalem City Stories- an Activity City Guide for Creative Travelers. A unique coloring and activity book, travel journal, and city guide all in one. Use this book more as a divining rod than a guide. Let it lead you through Jerusalem's streets and introduce you to its people.
Whenever you plan to visit, make sure you have the Tel Aviv City Stories. This Alternative Guide captures many of Tel Aviv's highlights and some of its hidden gems. For those who love to travel, this guide brings a real added value to the trip. Ditch the Google maps and classic guidebooks and start looking for the secret doors, hidden streets and gardens tucked away. Get lost in the city corners you've never seen before. Enjoy humorous and artful pages.
The illustrations in the guide are our version of reality. They are personal reflections of the places we love. Iconic spots such as Dizengoff Tower, Rothschild Boulevard, Old Jaffa and Carmel Market are there, but perhaps not exactly as they look in real life. We invite you to join the illustrated journey we want to share with you. It's a creative way to discover the city!
