Forget floating on clouds—discover the thrilling, purposeful eternity God has planned for you.
Biblical kings and controversial archaeologists
Traces of the ancient kingdom of Israel occasionally emerge from the dust of the Holy Land. These discoveries are immediately and inevitably followed by fierce controversies among archaeologists.
