    Great overview of the Holy Land and thoroughly Catholic (of course)
  

*by U***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 8, 2014*

I've always been on the look out for something that would help me picture in my mind and spur my imagination with the "life and times" aspect of our Lord.  I've tried reading other commentary books on the Holy Land and came away disappointed.Thankfully, this book by Fr Packwa is very satisfying.As a Catholic, and for some reason especially in these times, I'm always on guard to read truly inspirational material and not "Catholic Lite" writings that seem to be more an apology for the faith rather than apologetics.Fr Packwa's book brings together in very matter of fact and clear prose the history of the region as a place where divinity intersected humanity, elements of Catholic doctrine that came forth from this encounter, and examples of how humanity responded (both positively and negatively) in its call to holiness.By site, the book contains great color pictures (the book format is "landscape" which enhances many of the long-shot photos) a brief reading from Scripture to set context, then a summary in Fr Pacwa's own style of certain special features that relate to the physicality of the site, and finally a meditation from Fr Pacwa for the reader to draw them into the scene more deeply.The book contained several good "nuggets" of insight about the region that I either had not thought about or misunderstood.  I'll leave details about this to prospective readers since this becomes subjective based on a person's spiritual journey.  It was comforting to know that the material presented was from an authority on the area (Fr Pacwa has traveled to the sites numerous times - 58 trips to Israel alone - since his time as a grad student, and with more study and experience he now has been given permission to guide his own groups who visit the sites).I recommend this book to any Christian and especially to any Catholic Christian who wants to deepen their faith by way of gaining knowledge and meditating on the physical side of Christ's life on earth and His interaction with both the belivers and unbelievers of the time.P.S. Fr Pacwa has a regular program on EWTN which Catholics should check out if they have not yet done so.  Fr Pacwa has a great gift of presentation of deep subject matter which I believe would help anyone wanting to grow their faith.Highly recommended!

    The original price of this book was $24.99. That would have been worth it.
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 23, 2020*

I recently purchased a copy of this book for $75.97. I had seen it priced as high as $130, so I thought, ok, worth it. The book is smaller than I expected. Significantly. Thinner than I expected (especially for this price point). The photos are sufficient to good, but not great. I'm still reading it so I can't comment fully on the text, though of what I've read so far, I'm content. The big disappointment comes straight out of opening the package because the book is clearly labeled $24.99.This book is absolutely worth $24.99. At that price it is an excellent purchase. But it has gone out of print and so the few who are selling it, are selling it at an outrageous mark up. Based on the price I expected a large, beautiful coffee table type book, filled with glorious images of the Holy Land. I'm enjoying it well enough, but had I known what the book really was, I never would have spent so much money on it.So now I write this review to warn the next buyer. My one star is not based on the book, but based on ridiculously inflated price. The book is roughly an 8x10. The actual size is more like 8.25x9.75, but you get the picture. It is smaller than a standard piece of copy paper. The thickness of the book, not counting the bindings is 0.5 inches. And I'm uploading a photo of the cover and the original price.
