Questions people actually ask.

It follows the same route and the same teaching, but you take it from your chair. Middle East conflict from 2023 onward stopped tourism into Israel, so Dr. Ross rebuilt the twelve-day tour as a guided walk through the book — page by page, site by site.

Discover Israel: An Illustrated Guide (second edition) — 226 pages, 460 photographs, 74 maps and charts and 4 videos, available for desktop, mobile and print — plus the armchair tour guide that tells you which pages to read on which day. This demo is not wired to a store, so ordering runs through Dr. Ross directly.

Pricing is set by the ministry and isn’t published on this concept demo — we won’t invent a number. The ministry’s own line is that studying at your own pace saves over $6,000 against the cost of travelling. Email bob@discoverisraelministries.com for current pricing.

Undetermined. Regional conflict (2023–26) has stopped tourism into the Land. Dr. Ross keeps a list and will announce dates when travel reopens — join the list here.

The ministry’s published position: no nation is better prepared, no person on an organised tour has been attacked or injured by a terrorist in 70 years, and Israel averages roughly 4 million visitors a year. That said, travel is paused right now regardless of the record.

No — and Dr. Ross is emphatic about it. This is not a tour of churches built over traditional sites. It is a study of God’s Word in God’s Land, with the geography, archaeology and first-century Jewish context doing the teaching.

The tour’s certified Israeli guide of more than thirty years. A Jew who majored in New Testament studies at the Hebrew University and minored in the Crusades, he has fought in three wars and is regarded as a war hero in Israel. His “behind the curtain” sessions on the Middle East are a signature of the tour.

That is exactly what it was built for. Dr. Ross taught the Discover Israel Seminar in local churches for fifteen years before turning it into a guide. Contact him about group study.

It is in production. Web subscriptions for the online course will open when it is finished — read what it covers and ask to be told when it launches.
