NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- As a lifetime
student of Scripture, Kathie Lee
Gifford has been traveling to Israel since she was 17 years old. In a
continuation of that love for this astounding land of faith,
Kathie Lee will release The Rock,
the Road, and the Rabbi (ISBN# 9780785215967) on
March 6, 2018, with the W
Publishing Group, an imprint of Thomas
Nelson.
With a father who was Jewish, Kathie
Lee has always felt what she calls "a deep resonance in my
very being for the Jewish people and the Land of the
Covenant—Israel." But it wasn't until Gifford started studying the
original texts in Hebrew and Greek and actually hiking the land
herself, along with teachers who taught the messianic rabbinical
way, that she finally found what her soul had been longing for.
As Kathie Lee shares her
transformative experiences, readers will also be introduced to her
teachers on the journey — Ray Vander
Laan, Rod Van Solkema, and
Rabbi Jason Sobel, a Messianic
Jewish Rabbi who has been opening hearts and minds around the world
for years with his historical analysis and eye-opening revelations.
The book will paint actual locations within the Holy Land with a
personal narrative and pictures from Kathie
Lee's journey. In addition, each chapter ends with Rabbi
Jason taking the reader into a deeper understanding of Hebrew
culture, language, and heritage.
"Israel is my favorite place in
all the world because it's the land where it all started; it all
happened here," said Kathie Lee. "I
believe that something profound happens when one follows along the
ancient paths in the actual places that Jesus taught, healed,
lived, died, was resurrected and ascended into Heaven. I want to
share my journey and ultimately, my hope is that readers will
understand the difference between knowing about God and really
knowing God."
"Audiences all over the world have benefitted from Kathie Lee's faith and wisdom for decades—not to
mention her incredible wit and warmth," said Daisy Blackwell Hutton, vice president and
publisher of the W Publishing Group. "Now Kathie is using
those same gifts to help readers experience the Bible and the Holy
Land in a way that goes far beyond a traditional 'Sunday school'
approach to studying God's Word."
