Landscapes of the Bible and Their Story by H.B. Tristram

Today’s free book is H.B. Tristram’s Landscapes of the Bible, a superbly illustrated little book that provides a picture and a short article on around 50 locations mentioned in the Bible. I have extracted most of the images an uploaded them into the gallery shown below.
