I’ve been to Israel twice, once with a Christian archaeologist. It’s fascinating to envision life as Bible peoples knew it. Yet it’s almost impossible to break down the huge wall of distance, time, language and culture. I made a documentary with this focus from my 54 hours of footage touring Israel.

Launch your own fascination. See if you’ll also find it contagious.

What Did Going to Israel do for Me?

Forgiveness is like buying a house. When you first determine to forgive it’s like a huge down payment, and regularly afterwards, more payments. More re-commitments to forgive. For 12 years I was a mess. Actually from childhood I was a mess. But one domino caused the next to fall, and the next, up until when I married a man. That was to escape my inability to heal from my emotional pain and inefficient coping mechanisms. As my marriage was falling apart my pain got 2-3 times worse than my failing marriage caused, due to another individual’s deception (not my husband). Then, going to Israel those 2 times—at the height of all this pain—gave me a bigger boost healing than anything else ever could.

What Can Encourage You?

I made my documentary with plans to sell it on DVDs, so called it “Tour Israel by Remote.” But since then I decided instead to offer it for free by segments, published weekly on YouTube. It’s more important to me to share what I learned if I can encourage and bless many more people with it.
