    About this audiobook

    An instant New York Times bestseller! Journey with Kathie Lee Gifford and Messianic Rabbi Jason Sobel into Israel and explore the deep roots of the Christian faith.

    As a lifelong student of Scripture, Kathie Lee Gifford has always desired a deeper understanding of God’s Word and a deeper knowledge of God Himself. But it wasn’t until she began studying the biblical texts in their original Hebrew and Greek—along with actually hiking the ancient paths of Israel—that she found the fulfillment of those desires.

    Now you can walk with Kathie on a journey through the spiritual foundations of her faith:

    • The Rock (Jesus Christ): Hear directly from Kathie about her life-changing and ever-deepening connection with Jesus, the Lover of her soul.
    • The Road (Israel): Explore dozens of ancient landmarks and historical sites from Israel, the promised land of God’s covenant.
    • The Rabbi (God’s Word): Go beyond a Sunday-school approach to the Bible by digging into the original languages and deeper meanings of the Holy Scriptures.

    As you journey through The Rock, the Road, and the Rabbi, you’ll also find additional content from Messianic Rabbi Jason Sobel throughout the book. Jason’s insight into the Hebrew language, culture, and heritage will open your eyes to the Bible like never before.

    Begin your journey toward a deeper faith through The Rock, the Road, and the Rabbi.

    Editor's Note

    A deeper spiritual understanding…

    Explore the ancient landmarks and historical sites of Israel on a spiritual journey with Kathie Lee and Rabbi Sobel, whose fascinating insight into language, culture, and heritage will deepen your understanding of the New Testament.

      Let’s Talk PRAYER

      Jun 24, 2022

      We pray for a variety of reasons: it is a form of serving God (Luke 2:36-38) and obeying Him (Phil 4:6-7). We pray to demonstrate our faith in God, but most importantly, because Jesus did it. Prayers not prayed will be prayers unanswered. If the Syri

      Excellent book. So much insight and passion in this book. I have to go listen to it a second time, just because it's that good!

      I was refreshed by the scenes of Jesus to come...the stories of the Bible came alive..well written and read by the author and Rabbi Sobel!

      Following her around Israel was a delight. Learning all about the Hoy Land was so exciting. It has renewed my longing to visit there.
    • 5/5
      I loved reading this book and learning the meaning behind and in the Bible I never knew before. Rabbi Jason's information was great! Loved Kathy Lee's tour of Israel.
    • 3/5
      I really wanted to love this book, but it fell short of my expectations. There were a few places where the facts were just plain wrong. That opens the door to doubt for everything else in the book. For example, on page 60, the Rabbi says that turning water into blood was the first miracle Moses performed. But that isn't true. He turned his staff into a snake first. The rest of the analogy works, but he should know the facts. He wanted to compare this to Jesus miracle of turning water into wine. That is a great comparison, but you lose some integrity when your facts are off.

      My other issue was with the Rabbi's use of numerology. I admit I don't know how it works, so I can't check anything for myself. But, on page 68, he is that the number 490 is the value of the phrase, "Let your heart be perfect. (1 Kings 8:61, my translation)." So, the Rabbi made up a phrase that added to 490 to make his point. Well, couldn't I also create any phrase to add up to that number? Many phrases would be able to come to that sum. You can't create your own translation to support your own theory. 1 Kings 8:61 actually says, "Let your heart, therefore, be wholly true to the Lord our God, walking in his statutes and keeping his commandments, as at this day."

      His translation is not a translation, it is a summation of a much longer verse.

      Having said that, there were lots of good points in the book. Hearing the original meaning of words gives the verses a much deeper meaning.
    • 5/5
      Don't let the name of the author put you off...there are jewels in here that will amaze you if you like the history of the Biblical narrative.
