Oh my, how I LOVE this book! As a Homeschool Mom, Teacher of Bible History, & Olympian Club Teacher I couldn't wait to get ahold of these maps. I was so happily surprised to find that the book also included detailed outlines of each book of the Bible, which has become invaluable in my Bible History Class. This resource is a great value considering that it also includes downloadable pdfs of each map! Each book of the Bible is covered with a section that informs about; the author, dates, themes & literary structure, & other important topics. I especially liked the tabernacle diagrams, the "Placement of Tribes in the Israelite Encampment", a chart describing the "Pagan God's of Egypt" (Which really helped my students understand the plagues at a different level!), detailed charts on "The Levitical Offerings", a chart on "The Harmony of the Gospels", and the various full-color pictures. This book has opened up Bible study to me in so many ways. The one con I did find, there some Scriptural inaccuracies, but if you are a careful reader you will catch them. My Dad, a Pastor, took one look through it and has already bought his own copy.

Is God in control when His people are in enemies hands?
Kabul 24 is the riveting story of Christians and some of their employees who were taken prisoner in Afghanistan just a month before the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. When these Christians, varying in age and nationality, left their homes to help the Afghan refugees they knew exactly what they were risking. Still it was terrifying when their nightmares came true and they were taken, not knowing if they would ever make it back safely to see their families again. First response was to turn to God in prayer, and He answered in miraculous ways!
This book was impossible to put down. I simply had to know if the prisoners would make it home safe! I was afraid when I first received this book that it would be hard to read. I have read other books about Afghanistan under the Taliban’s power, and the evil that took place was hard to read about. Instead this book showed how prayer, faith, and endurance trumps the evil man will seek to do to those who love God!
I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com
