| 1. |  | The Master and Margarita from Vintage Price: $10.40 Customer Review:  I found Mikhail Bulgakov's life terribly sad, as I progressed through this novel, realizing how much of it is autobiographical. Here was a brilliant man---the grandson of Priests, who was obviously quite theologically challenged in atheist Russia. His motif surrounding the existence of Jesus and the... |

| 2. |  | Assassins: Assignment: Jerusalem, Target: Antichrist (Left Behind No. 6) from Tyndale House Publishers Price: $10.19 Customer Review:  In reviewing books 1 - 5 of this series, I've done my best to bash them without mercy. The reason I've done this is that the books have deserved bashing. They're bad. Really, very bad. And, while I could pick apart this entry in the series, I think it's time to step away from heavy criticism... |

| 3. |  | Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $10.88 Customer Review: Arendt's analysis of the "banality of evil" characterized by Adolf Eichmann is a chilling look into how evil can be systematized, how it can be seemingly bureaucratic, and how normal people can be turned into monsters through law. This is a great book for anyone interested in World War 2, the... |

| 4. |  | From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya: A Biographical History of Christian Missions from Zondervan Price: $20.25 Customer Review: The book is well organized and easy to use. The content is well researched and concise without feeling rushed and choppy. In stark contrast to most surveys of missiological history, the author actually keeps her audience's attention from front to back. Also a contrast to many missions biographies,... |

| 7. |  | The Douay-Rheims Bible (with book and chapter navigation) from Diana L. Mecum DianaDoesIt.com Price: $3.48 Customer Review:  This version of the Bible is very easy to navigate. The search feature of the Kindle makes it a breeze. My only complaint is that commentary is right there in the text; it's not separated by anything to tell you "Scripture stops, comments begin", so it can sometimes be distracting when just trying... |

| 8. |  | American Priestess: The Extraordinary Story of Anna Spafford and the American Colony in Jerusalem from Nan A. Talese Price: $17.16 Customer Review: Adding to Furman Baldwin's commentary on "American Priestess" by Jane Fletcher Geniesse, I too am a 3rd generation descendant of the first wave of members who joined Anna Spaford's American Colony in Jerusalem. Our fathers, Furman and Norman,were sons of Reverend Edward F. Baldwin who with four of... |

| 9. |  | The New Jerusalem Bible from Doubleday Price: $30.00 Customer Review: The New Jerusalem Bible is a fine study aid. Though it is the product of Catholic scholars there is nothing in either the translation or the excellent notes which could not have been written by competent scholars of any denominational background. I like the idiomatic English: Jezebel to Ahab - "Some... |

| 10. |  | Streetwise Jerusalem Map - Laminated Center City Street Map of Jerusalem, Israel - Folding pocket size travel map (Streetwise (Streetwise Maps)) from Streetwise Maps Price: $7.95 Customer Review: I never go to Israel without two of these. I am a map-o-phile and personally have many maps of Israel and Jerusalem. Some are in English and some are in Hebrew. This is the ONE map of Jerusalem that I highly reccomend to those who visit Israel with us. It's laminated, accordion-fold and easy to... |

| 11. |  | From Beirut to Jerusalem from Anchor Price: $11.53 Customer Review: The book was in very good condition and arrived promptly. I'm so pleased I may order additional copies. |

| 12. |  | Habibi from Simon Pulse Price: $6.99 Customer Review: I am reading this book, and it is honestly one of the worst books I've ever read. This is a great IDEA for a book, but it should have been written in first person, and there are mulpitle passages that are hard to understand the way they are worded, and it is really over-dramatic and corny in... |

| 13. |  | O Jerusalem! from Simon & Schuster Price: $12.24 Customer Review: This monumental work is the most gripping and informative account I've read about the rebirth of Israel in 1948. Of course the focus is on Jerusalem and the text does not cover the war in Galilee or the South in any detail. The work includes the roles of famous persons and the experiences of... |

| 14. |  | The Last Week: What the Gospels Really Teach About Jesus's Final Days in Jerusalem from HarperOne Price: $11.16 Customer Review: This is a fascinating historical analysis of Mark's gospel focusing on the sections from Jesus's arrival in Jerusalem through the resurrection. Lots of socio-political background on the Jewish community and the Roman Empire. The authors argue that some of the traditional theological understandings... |

| 15. |  | Jerusalem Countdown: Revised and Updated from Frontline Price: $10.19 Customer Review:  Just as most Americans look at Islamic radicals and ask "Why do they hate us?", Jews look at Christian Zionists and ask "Why do they love us?" Some believe that the only reason for Christian support of Israel and Jews is that Jews play a crucial role in the "End Times" theology of some Protestants.... |

| 16. |  | The Covenant from St. Martin's Griffin Price: $4.99 Customer Review: The most useful part of this book, which is written by a columnist living in Jerusalem, is the extent to which it describes the distortion of facts by the media. It does not merely allege such distortion, but shows how it occurs, and why, in ways that have been substantiated in real life. You can... |

| 17. |  | The Last Days (Political Thrillers Series #2) from Forge Books Customer Review: The book was good and a nice sequel to The Last Jihad. The audio version was better than the Last Jihad, but not quite as good as the Copper Scroll. But overall a suspense filled book that will keep you engaged and anxious for each event as they unroll in this, "The Last Days". |

| 18. |  | A Woman in Jerusalem from Harvest Books Price: $11.20 Customer Review: Yulia Rageyev was a Soviet immigrant to Jersualem, Israel. She was married and divorced mother of a troubled teenage son. Not much is known about her because she was an unidentified victim of a suicide bombing in Jersualem, her adopted hometown. A journalist and a bakery manager are on a mission to... |

| 19. |  | Rome and Jerusalem: The Clash of Ancient Civilizations from Knopf Price: $21.00 Customer Review: This book is really two separate books. The first 2/3 of the book contrasts Roman and Judean civilization: there are lots of interesting little tidbits about Rome - for example, that emperors became known throughout the Empire through coinage, and that Romans believed in ghosts and even had a... |

| 20. |  | First Light (A. D. Chronicles, Book 1) from Tyndale House Publishers Price: $11.19 Customer Review: I read this book after reading "The Kingdom and the Crown" trilogy by Gerald N. Lund and I thought it was an incomplete repetition of those books. Whereas I completely fell in love with "The Kingdom and the Crown", I found "First Light" boring and hard to read. I personally don't recommend this... |

| 21. |  | Back To Jerusalem from Authentic Price: $9.59 Customer Review: The First half of this book is written by Paul Hattaway briefly tracing the origin of Christianity in China as well as the vision and earlier attempts at taking the gospel back to Jerusalem in the early part of the twentieth century. Having been spread westward from Jerusalem to Europe and to North... |

| 22. |  | O Jerusalem (Mary Russell Novels) from Bantam Price: $6.99 Customer Review: Both these books deal with the Holy Land, from the perspective of a scholarly young woman, Mary Russell, wife of Sherlock Holmes. A Letter of Mary has to do with a letter from Mary Magdalene discovered by an archaelogist, and O Jerusalem with the travels of Russell/Holmes in the Holy Land as spies.... |

| 23. |  | The Genizah at the House of Shepher: A Novel from St. Martin's Griffin Price: $11.16 Customer Review: This book is a wonderful achievement, covering many generations and several continents. The author rises to the considerable challenge of keeping her locales and characters distinct and authentic. As with other "family sagas" it takes some effort on the reader's part to keep up. I look forward to... |

| 24. |  | When the Kings Come Marching in: Isaiah and the New Jerusalem from Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company Price: $11.20 Customer Review: Richard Mouw's reading of Isaiah 60 in "When the Kings Come Marching In" is an extremely readable volume that offers valuable insights to the enduring problem of the relationship between Christianity and culture. We may discern three essential ways by which it informs our understanding of God's work... |

| 25. |  | The New Temple and the Second Coming: The Prophecy That Points to Christ's Return in Your Generation from WaterBrook Press Price: $11.19 Customer Review: Matthew 11 tells us that as we see the seasons aproach with regard to the return of our Lord Jesus Christ for His Church we should prepare ourselves in the awareness. The fact that the third Temple is now being prepared for construction should bring us all toward this preparedness to recieve Him. |

| 27. |  | Jerusalem: One City, Three Faiths from Ballantine Books Price: $12.24 Customer Review: There is nothing like an author reading her or his own text. The expression, exclamations, pauses, all where it is supposed to be; conveying exactly what the author means. It would have been better however, if the tracks were broken down into chapters. It is easier that way especially if you like to... |

| 28. |  | Acts of Meaning: Four Lectures on Mind and Culture (Jerusalem-Harvard Lectures) from Harvard University Press Price: $16.65 Customer Review: This is an outstanding and important work although some years have passed now since its publication and Bruner has written two other books further setting out his narrative understanding of identity and meaning - amazing, given his age. He was one of the originators of the "cognitive revolution"... |

| 29. |  | Jerusalem Interlude (Zion Covenant, Book 4) from Tyndale House Publishers Price: $10.39 Customer Review: This is the best book in the series by far! I say that partly because I love Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and the musical West Side Story. Elements from both works are present here. Victoria's warning to Eli "Do not swear by the stars" brings to mind Juliet's "Swear not by the moon/The inconstant... |
