The Holy Land Key is a book by Ray Bentley, the founding pastor of Maranatha Chapel near San Diego, Calif. Overall, I found the book very hard to get through. It doesn’t make for smooth reading. Beyond that, I have my issues with Bentley’s work that I will summarize here. Bentley’s belief in the Blood Moons’ prophecy craze is astonishing. A good rebuttal is Mark Hitchcock’s Blood Moons Rising that I reviewed as well.

Thirty Days in the Land with Jesus is a unique devotional book by Dr. Charles Dyer. As its name suggests, it takes the reader through the land in which Jesus was born, grew up and in which He ministered. It is packed with beautiful pictures of the sights of the Holy Land. Part devotional, part commentary and part archaeological treasure trove, this volume will have you returning to your devotions day after day. It is insightful, understandable and a joy to read.  My favorite was "The Puzzling Prophecy: A Messiah from Shoot Town." I highly recommend this work. If you are looking for a new way to study the Bible and like the idea of a one month concentration, this book is for you. I have even marked my Bible with "go to page . . . in Thirty Days by Charles Dyer" in various places. I received this book for review purposes from Moody Publishers See a large sample/excerpt of the book Who is Dr. Charles Dyer ? Dr. Dyer's Facebook page  Buy ...
