About this book
Thousands of years ago the prophet Ezekiel foretold a future time in which the arid land of Israel would come alive for its people. Now this breathtaking book documents the fulfillment of that visionfrom the hills of Shiloh where shepherds once roamed to the booming city of Tel Aviv founded on sand dunes to the stellar beaches of Caesarea transformed from a small village into one of Israels most stunning coastal cities and finally to Jerusalem the Eternal City of Peace where in ancient times the power of worship resounded from the Temple. Here rarely seen photographs taken between the 1880s and the 1940s juxtaposed with contemporary images of the same locations illustrate the regions biblical history as a place of monumental battle celebration worship and awesome resilience. Whether by helicopter or on foot on their own or with the aid of locals author Doug Hershey and photographer Elise Monique Theriault negotiate the terrain to access the vantage points required to match the original photosfrom the rooftop of Israels National Museum of Science Technology and Space in Haifa to Jaffa Ports breakwater and much more. Their quest creates a collection that will inspire and captivate as it illuminates Israels foretold awakening in a new and unforgettable way.
