Tara-Leigh Cobble’s Israel Becomes a WSJ Bestseller
BLOOMINGTON, MN (May 26, 2023)—Popular Bible teacher and podcaster Tara-Leigh Cobble’s new book, Israel, joined the Wall Street Journal’s bestseller list on April 29, 2023. Israel has claimed the No. 10 spot on WSJ's hardcover nonfiction bestseller list and the No. 9 bestseller placement on Publishers Weekly’s hardcover frontlist nonfiction list.
Israel combines thirty-one biblically rich devotionals with 350 photos of modern-day Israel into a spectacular coffee table book, revealing the beauty of this country in a way rarely depicted on the printed page. Cobble, creator of The Bible Recap, has led boutique teaching tours of Israel since 2014. The book gives readers an unforgettable tour of the Holy Land, unveiling Israel’s features, flora, and people, all while making deeper connections with its biblical stories and truth.
Whenever Cobble visits Israel, she is always struck by the contrast between the dusty ruins that people picture in their minds and the vibrant colors and contrasts she experiences in real life. Israel truly is a gorgeous destination, worth visiting for its beauty as well as its historical significance.
But more than anything, Cobble wants to connect readers to the God who makes flowers bloom in the desert and who came as a human to this incredible corner of the world.
Israel is available everywhere books are sold.
