Hyssop
Some of the flowers mentioned in the Bible are unknown to us in the West. Hyssop is an example of a flowering plant known in the Middle East and southern Europe but unfamiliar to us. It is a shrub-like plant up to two feet tall with woody stems which grow upright, producing leaves and small fragrant flowers in the summer. Cutting and bundling the stems with their leaves intact produces a brush-like tool for dipping and “painting” liquids.

New England is known throughout the U.S. as a sophisticated vacationland where people flock for good, old-fashioned leisure. Historically, prestigious political families have retreated to its iconic coastline to relax and refresh. It will be fun to explore the quaint and rustic Rockland, Maine and take in some local tastes and sites. Then there are the breathtaking views of Canada’s gems like Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, known for their understated beauty.
We will see all this and more on a group travel experience centered around God and His Word. What could be better than that?
Along with daily devotions and live Bible study, we’ll also enjoy praise and worship from our gifted musician friends, Michael Sanchez and Uriel Vega. All this will be set in the gracious hospitality of Holland America’s Zuiderdam, a world-renowned cruise line known for its stately elegance.

Because planning for a vacation is fun, exciting, and brimming with anticipation. Planning for our future seems to be a bit different since it can involve fear, confusion, and uncertainty. But, if you plan for your future legacy in an organized way, it can be just as simple as planning for that wonderful vacation that is so exciting. You just need to get started, and we want to help.

Tour the Land of the Bible with Dr. David Jeremiah
After leading several trips to the land of the Bible, Israel has become one of my favorite places on earth. Donna and I are excited to return for another Turning Point Israel tour, March 19-29, 2019.
We’ll visit historical places like:
- Gethsemane
- The Sea of Galilee
- The Mount of Beatitudes
- And more
I’ll guide you through these sacred sites and others, teaching God’s Word as we retrace our Savior’s steps. Imagine seeing the same landscape Jesus saw, being baptized in the Jordan River, or singing at the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem.
These life experiences will change you forever.
