References for Israel trip

While I'm getting our photos together on Flickr, I've found a number of good Web references for our trip by searching keywords in Google. One of the best overall sites is http://www.sacred-destinations.com/israel/sacred-sites.htm.

We brought two books with us on our trip:
- The Holy Land - Follow the Steps of Jesus - Etty Boochny
- The Land of Milk and Honey -John A Beck

And we purchased an additional book while we were there:
- The Holy Land - The Land of Jesus - Palphot

I would highly recommend either the Boochny or the Palphot book - or both - as travel companions during an Israel tour. The Beck book would be suitable if you want to get into a more in-depth history of the region. It is all narrative - no pictures.
