About this ebook

A Powerful Story Set Against the Backdrop of Today's Israel

Nothing in Abigail MacLeod's life as a wife, a mother, and a teacher has prepared her for what she will experience during her summer in Israel. At forty-two, her life is in chaos, even before she leaves home--her marriage is dissolving before her very eyes, her faith is in shambles. This pilgrimage to Israel was supposed to be a new beginning for her. But by the end of the first day, she is forced to board an Israeli jetliner in spit of a bomb threat, and watches helplessly as a kind, fatherly gentleman she befriended on the plane dies in her arms.

This is a summer Abby will spend learning about archaeology, delving into the past. And it's a summer that will change her life in ways she never imagined.

Ratings and reviews

I got so much out of reading this book. The spiritual messages were so insightful and helped me to grow in faith. And the story itself was so cleverly told that I feel as if I were there! I'll miss the characters that I got to know. One of the things I love about Lyn Austin ' s writing is that she makes the bible come to life and portrays God and His wonderful word in a story that is vivid and keeps your attention. I highly recommend this book!

This was such an excellent book. The pictures Lynn Austin uses during the book, to give handles to truths in God's word, are real counselling gems. I will remember them for sure!

I love Israel although I'm not a Jew. This book is taking me back to the time I was a student there t Thank you for reviving wonderful times.I love Abby she is so alive. I love Ari he is so Jewish. I love just about everyone I have met so far.Thank you for your wonderful, engrossing books.Tembi
