Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: Charles Gulston's "Jerusalem: The Tragedy and the Triumph" is more than a history; it is the spiritual biography of the most important city on earth. David established his throne there. Solomon built his temple there. Isaiah and Jeremiah prophesied in its streets. And Jesus died outside its walls and rose again. Jerusalem's past changed the world, and its future is linked to the destiny of mankind. This is the story of ancient empires and modern carnage -- the story of those who conquered for a while, and of the One who conquered forever. This is the story of a long journey through time by a people who will survive to the end and triumph, not by their own efforts, but because God cannot fail in His purposes. This book illuminates the truth of the psalmist's words: "Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain."
