Reviews
People, I think, still picture
Jerusalem as they think it was in the first century. They ask me, "What
was it like to 'see' the places that so much Biblical history happened?"
Picturesque
Palestine enables me to not only tell of the difference but also
illustrate what I mean when I say, "It's not the same as it used to be."
(Kyle Patterson, Tacoma, WA)
The SWP Maps are terrific: view options,
superior linking, high quality, a tremendous amount of work. What
a joy to have access to this wealth of information without 1) having
access to the sheets; 2) sorting through the sheets, 3) bending over the
sheets, etc. I cannot express enough what a contribution you have
made." (Steven Lancaster,
Biblical Backgrounds)
I would definitely recommend this set to anyone who is interested
in the Land of the Bible." (D. J. Kaufman,
Somerset, CA)
