The Rock, the Road, and the Rabbi
by
Kathie Lee Gifford
with Rabbi Jason Sobel
In The Rock, the Road, and the Rabbi, Kathie Lee Gifford shares how experiencing Israel firsthand has deepened her faith. As she describes her own journey through the Holy Land, Messianic Rabbi Jason Sobel expounds on the language and culture to enhance our understanding of:
The ROCK: Jesus Christ, the Messiah
The ROAD: Israel, the Promised Land
The RABBI: The Bible, the Word of God
As one of the tour guides explained, “…the Bible was written by Middle Easterners for Middle Easterners. But we try to understand it with a Western mindset. We try to apply our own principles and our Western understanding to a culture that is completely foreign to us.”
By walking the same paths in the Bible and studying the language, culture, and history of the Middle East, we can develop a deeper understanding and faith. But it’s not just a lesson in social studies or religion. Kathie Lee’s husband, Frank Gifford, after a lifetime of Christian religion, realized for the first time a very personal relationship with Jesus when he visited Israel.
Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us? – Luke 24:32
Join Vickie and Jasa on the podcast to hear some of Vickie’s personal experiences in Israel and her thoughts on the book. There is nothing like walking “The Road” (Israel) yourself in person. But if you don’t have the opportunity to visit and experience Israel for yourself, this book will effectually take you there.
