I\u2019ll be over in Israel and\/or Palestine a bit in May and June, accompanying tours there, so I\u2019ve decided to gather up links to columns that I\u2019ve written for the Deseret News<\/em> about some of the sites that we\u2019ll be visiting. \u00a0I\u2019m not sure that this is an exhaustive collection of such columns, but some might find these links of value:<\/p>\n

I was a bit surprised, looking over this list, to see major gaps. \u00a0There are several subjects about which I thought that I had written columns, but appparently haven\u2019t. \u00a0Maybe it\u2019s simply because I talk so much about them on these tours. \u00a0Places like Caesarea Philippi, Qumran, Wadi Hammam, and the like merit mention in my writing for the Deseret News. \u00a0At least I have the happy confirmation that I won\u2019t run out of topics any time soon.<\/p>\n
