Who Will Go Up? the Geography of Transformation : Pilgrimage in the Holy Land
Overview
What if the Holy Land is more than a travel and tourist destination?
What if it is an invitation? Every year, millions of people travel to Israel. They visit Jerusalem, walk the streets of Nazareth, stand beside the Sea of Galilee, float in the Dead Sea, and return home with photographs and memories. Some return with something more. They return changed. Who Will Go Up? written by biblical scholar and long time Holy land guide Taylor Halverson, Ph.D., is an invitation to experience the Holy Land as a pilgrim rather than a tourist. Drawing upon scripture, history, archaeology, geography, theology, and the lived experience of sacred travel, Dr. Halverson book welcomes readers into one of humanity's oldest spiritual practices: pilgrimage. From the moment you arrive at Ben Gurion Airport to your final departure, each location becomes more than a historical site. Every place becomes an opportunity for encounter, reflection, covenant renewal, and transformation. Journey through:
- Jerusalem and the Temple Mount
- The Mount of Olives and Gethsemane
- The Sea of Galilee and Capernaum
- Nazareth and the Basilica of the Annunciation
- Caesarea Philippi
- Jericho and the Jordan River
- Qumran and Masada
- The Western Wall
- The Church of the Holy Sepulchre
- The Garden Tomb
- Dozens of the most significant locations in biblical history and the life of Jesus Christ Each chapter follows a carefully designed pattern that helps readers move beyond information into transformation:
- The Place
- The Story
- The Meaning
- The Inheritance
- The Invitation
- The Response Written from a Latter-day Saint perspective while remaining deeply rooted in the biblical world, this book helps readers understand the geography, history, covenant theology, and spiritual significance of the Holy Land in ways that bring scripture to life. Whether you are preparing for your first journey to Israel, returning to places you already love, leading tours, teaching scripture, or exploring from home, this book provides a framework for experiencing sacred geography as a pathway to spiritual transformation. The question that has echoed through the Holy Land for thousands of years still remains: Who will go up?
The invitation stands.
The journey awaits.
