​Why did Bible people wash each other's feet?  And remember the story of Leah--what was wrong with Leah's "tender eyes"?   What exactly did Jesus mean about His "yoke" being "easy"?  This week on The Land and the Book, George Knight joins us for a stimulating conversation about Bible Customs and Curiosities.

​He was born and raised in Iraq.  But as that troubled nation prepared for yet another war, Jalil’s mother and father urged him to flee.  So he snuck out of the country, eventually ending up in the United States.  Today, he’s pastor of an Arab church in Dallas…but the journey he’s been on is a story worth hearing.  We’ll share it—and more—this week on The Land and the Book.   ​

​You’ve heard of praying when the chips are down….or praying in a foxhole.  What about praying in a cistern?  This week on The Land and the Book, we’ll meet a man who prayed in an empty water tank—an ancient cistern.  Why was Jeremiah stuck in that water hole?  And what must we learn from his prayer?  Charlie Dyer has insights this week on The Land and the Book.  Plus, Joel Rosenberg will be along with practical ways we can minister to the poor of Israel.

​What can you and I learn studying the Old Testament prophets?  Answer: Plenty!  Just ask Lynn Austin.

If the president of the United States appointed you as an ambassador to a distant country,  you’d need to learn a different language, a different culture.  This week’s guest on The Land and the Book says we need to do the same for our Muslim neighbors and co-workers.  He says followers of Jesus are “Ambassadors to Muslims.”  How to be a better ambassador—this week on The Land and the Book.

The Story is fiction…but it feels frighteningly possible: ISIS blows up the United States capital building during a State of the Union address.  Are their lessons from Joel Rosenberg’s latest thriller?  We’ll sit down with this New York Times best-selling author this week on The Land and the Book. Plus, our time brings you up to date on current events in the Middle East and more. The Land and the Book.
