Where God Came Down

Very well done! I love the format and layout of this book. It reminds me of a detailed text book! The pictures show perspective of how far distance lands are from each other. It gives the reader an idea of how far travel one area is to the other. Most of all, you can tell that Joel Kramer put his heart and soul into this book, which is MORE than a book! Not sure if I can afford to ever go to visit these sites in the future, but at least this book can bring it to you. I love the history and knowing more intimately about our Lord Jesus and where he walked. Also, that our Father's Word in the Bible is authentic!

I recently had the pleasure of reading through this book, and I can't recommend it enough. This book not only addresses the age-old question of whether archaeology aligns with Scripture, but it does so in a compelling and well-researched manner. Kramer's approach, using Scripture as the primary ancient text and interpretive tool, adds so much depth to the discussion. He meticulously examines the archaeological records of locations mentioned in the Bible, and his ability to present this complex information with clarity is truly commendable. The inclusion of numerous photos, maps, graphics, and illustrations further enhances the reader's understanding. What I found most captivating about this book is how it goes beyond simply proving the historical accuracy of the Bible. Kramer delves deep into the Gospel significance of these ancient sites, reminding us that these seemingly unimportant places were the very stage where the story of redemption unfolded. It's a powerful testament to the enduring impact of these locations for believers. He also speaks the truth, with as many false prophets that have started to become more prevalent, I’m thankful for his ability to keep the faith once passed down and doesn’t tickle our ears with fables fit for old women. If you're seeking answers to questions about the Bible's historical accuracy and the alignment of archaeology with Scripture, "Where God Came: The Archaeological Evidence" is a must-read. It's a book that not only provides evidence proving the Bible's authenticity but also weaves a rich narrative of God's redemptive presence in history. This is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of faith, history, and archaeology. Thank you, I do hope you’ll write more, we love the YouTube channel as well.

As a self-proclaimed Bible geek and archaeology nerd, I cannot say enough good things about Joel Kramer’s Where God Came Down! This book is everything I hoped for and more — it’s like an extension of his fantastic YouTube videos, packed with rich insights, stunning photos, maps, and evidence that beautifully supports the biblical account. Kramer doesn’t just skim the surface; he dives deep into ten key biblical locations, showing how archaeology confirms Scripture, not contradicts it. If you’ve ever wondered whether the ancient record backs up God’s redemptive story, this book will blow you away. It’s perfect for teachers, students, Holy Land travelers, or anyone wanting to strengthen their faith with solid, evidence-based reasons to trust the Bible. I’m thrilled to have this resource on my shelf — it’s engaging, eye-opening, and a total joy to read. Five enthusiastic stars!

From the very first page, I felt transported into a world filled with rich history and spirituality. 'Where God Came Down' is, in my opinion, a remarkable exploration of sacred sites across the globe. The author has done a superb job of weaving together historical context, cultural significance, and modern-day reflections. The balance, to be honest, is just perfect. The book doesn't just inform; it invites you to ponder the deeper questions about faith and the places humans have chosen to connect with the divine. I found myself, on numerous occasions, putting the book down just to marvel at how little I knew about these globally significant sites. There's a particularly moving chapter about a site in the Middle East—it struck such a chord with me that I found myself looking up flights (well, maybe not immediately, but the thought did cross my mind!). Actually, what I appreciate most is the prose. It's both engaging and elegant, making even the most complex topics accessible. The author's passion for these sacred places comes through in every sentence, making the journey educational and deeply personal at the same time. Books that touch on spirituality often struggle to balance respect and objectivity. This one does it beautifully. I would highly recommend 'Where God Came Down' to anyone interested in history, spirituality, or just great storytelling. It's truly a book that leaves you enriched.

Great read with detailed Biblical references as well as detailed history of previous digs and layers that appeared at each of these sites through history. Great illustrations. Author also has a great YouTube channel well worth the time. I've purchased three or four copies as gifts for friends. If you enjoy archaeology, its a must read.

It’s been in my cart for over a year and now I got to finally have it because my husband gifted it to me 🤗 I have been following Joel Kramer on YT. I love this book so much, visuals are astounding with really great information!

Joel Kramer é um ótimo autor e arqueólogo.

Well presented

I really enjoyed this book. The photographs are beautiful, and the information on biblical archaeology is presented in a clear and engaging way. This is my first archaeology book, and I’m very happy with the quality and how much I learned.

Das Buch ist großartig und zeigt den Zusammenhang mit der Bibel und den archäologische Fundstücke. Für jeden gläubigen Christen ist das Buch ein Muss.
