Description:
Take a trip to the Middle East in this unforgettable journey through history. Beginning with the apostles and moving forward through time, discover tales of Turkey, Persia, North Africa, Armenia, and more as the gospel spreads into the Middle Eastern world from the first century into the present day.
Through twenty centuries, the spread of Christ’s kingdom is carefully chronicled through intriguing tales such as how God stopped an army of elephants, how He cared for a starving orphan boy, and how the story of a pearl lost at midnight was used to teach a Muslim world the truth of God’s Word. Taking the Middle East for Jesus records God’s mighty deeds in this part of the world, inspiring a new generation to worship, honor, and praise our glorious King and to press forward in the work He has set before us.
