Lately, I have been reading up on end time prophecy regarding Israel and Jerusalem. I finished 2 books and it taught me alot about Israels history. Does anyone know of more books about Israel's history but not necessarily regarding end times?GOD BlessJohn

This isn't a book...but it's the first thing that came to mind when I saw your post.This is a video series on Israel's history, focusing mainly on her modern history. I love this series and learned so much about the modern state of Israel through watching it.[url=http://store.silaspartners.com/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=FOI&Product_Code=V20D&Category_Code=VID]The Promise Series[/url].
If you're looking for ancient history outside of the Bible accounts you might want to look at [url=http://www.ccel.org/ccel/josephus/works/files/works.html]The Works of Flavius Jospehus[/url]This is very extensive history from creation to around A.D. 90.In Christ,Ron

I would heartily recommend [url=http://www.amazon.com/History-Jews-Paul-M-Johnson/dp/0060915331/sr=8-8/qid=1170949973/ref=sr_1_8/002-1224664-8453623?ie=UTF8&s=books]A History of the Jews[/url] by Paul Johnson. Johnson is a Catholic and very right wing and very sympathetic to things Jewish and Israeli but I think he writes very objectively on this. He is not a Bible believer so his comments on the Biblical history of the Jews will not impress you. He is well regarded historian/journalist over here in the UK and this book is a real eye-opener.His tracing of the cycles of antisemitism is very moving and you leave the book with a feeling of admiration and wonder for this extraordinary race. You can get a little idea of the book's style from excerpts on the Amazon website. Open the book on the Amazon website and give the 'Surprise me' button a few clicks.
