Route 60 - The Biblical Highway film

Beautifully told film about Route 60 in Israel, the road that Jesus walked. Gorgeous visuals, personal accounts by Mike Pompeo and David Friedman at sites, two people who were prominent in our country and in bringing about the Abraham Accord. Very interesting descriptions of historical places thousands of years old. A lot of great information, some eye-openers for all ages. My husband and I both highly recommend it. Grab your tickets today to see Route 60!

Route 60: The Biblical Highway, in theaters September 18 & 19, only!

Synopsis: Carving through the heart of the Promised Land is the biblical spine of Israel, sometimes referred to as the Path of the Patriarchs and officially designated as Route 60. A highway of deep historical significance while often the scene of unrest and violence, this 146-mile road of asphalt and concrete begins in Nazareth, Israel’s largest Arab city, and ends in Beersheba, one of Israel’s high-tech centers. Running north to south, Route 60 connects ancient Israel with modern Israel, Jews and Christians with Muslims, and Israelis with Palestinians.

This trek is far more than a two-lane highway; it is a historic, sacred link to the roots of Judaism and Christianity and the stories of the Old and New Testaments. Follow world-changing diplomats David Friedman and Mike Pompeo as they venture down this sacred road, treading the very ground Abraham, Jacob, King David, and Jesus once walked. Discover the history, witness the healing, and realize the hope along Route 60, the Biblical Highway.

“Visually stunning and compelling storytelling.” - Mike Huckabee

“ROUTE 60 combines the truth of the Bible with undeniable archaeological proof, and like our tour guides, Pompeo and Friedman, that’s a powerful combination!” - Erick Stakelbeck

When Stone Wings Fly by Karen Barnett

Well written story of a family rooted in the Smoky Mountain Park. They were of the original families who lived there before the park took over their land. Goes back and forth between Rosie who lived there to Kiernan who was looking for her family's roots, especially the stone bird that her failing Gran wanted her to go there and find. Keeps you hooked as she uncovers their story. Deep love and excruciating pain for these people as it unfolds, for those in present day as well as the past. I felt frustrated near the conclusion, but it all worked out ok. Some good wisdom, good Christian lessons from those who are looked at as "simple mountain folks." Hard lives, hard lessons.

I received this book free from the author, publisher and NetGalley book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
