A Land Like No Other: Israel, A Puzzle of Many Pieces

Experience the Israel you never knew through the intimate journey of a man who lives to explore it. Israel. Zion. The holy land. A strip of land the size of New Jersey that stayed at the heart of controversies around the world for the past 3,000 years. But behind all the media coverage and divisive politics is a singular country, the likes of which you will not find anywhere else. Join expert tour guide and bestselling author Ron Gilo on a cross-country trip through Israel – one rich in culture, history, flavors, passion, and even more than a little humor. With his signature prosaic style, Gilo creates a fresh, encompassing portrayal of Israel in all its complex glory.

If you have always wanted to visit Israel but never had the opportunity, or if you are looking for new sites and places to explore, Gilo’s book is the enlightening and comprehensive guide to take with you on your next trip to the Holy Land.
