There is no place on the planet talking about the city of Jerusalem, and we're going to accent it with this amazing book that he's created called

Jerusalem Rising. And it is unique. It is comprised of photographs, but Doug, you've gone

just a little bit beyond the usual. And it's not like any other book I've ever seen.

Because as you and I have said, and particularly it moves me,

there's more to life than just acquiring facts.

The feeling you get when you travel to Jerusalem, there's nothing

like it. You've spent days and days and weeks walking around Jerusalem, taking photos. After

a while you begin to say to yourself, this place is really different, right? Indeed.

You know, we read the Bible and we read about Jerusalem.

There's over references in Jerusalem in the Bible of over 700 times. And we read about King David

and Solomon and the things that happen at the time of Jesus. And there's so much in the scriptures

about Jerusalem. But what makes the city unique is that

the God of Genesis 1 has said that I have chosen this place to place my name here forever.

Zachariah 8 says I have, I am jealous for Zion and I am planning to return to the city,

which is an amazing thing for one of the prophets to say in the old covenant. I'm returning, like I've been here before, I'm returning to dwell with my people.

And God in the book of Psalm says that not only are we praying for the peace of Jerusalem,

but this is a city that I've chosen to dwell forever with my people. And so sometimes when we take people to Israel

or on any tour when people go,

one of the more common things that people say on the tours

is when I was in Jerusalem,

I just felt like I was home.

And, you know, I tend to be more of an intellectual guy.
