Plan a: What Modern Israel Reveals about the Original and Unchanging Purposes of God

We live in unique times. For most of ancient Israel's history, the Church did not yet exist and so Israel tended to think God's plans were all about her. And for most of the Church's history, Israel herself became a thing of the past and so the Church tended to think God's plans were actually about her instead. Today, however, we live in the longest ever period where both Israel and the Church have existed at the same time, which begs an obvious question: what plan is God working to now?

In this timely, concise and very readable book, Paul Parkhouse of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem invites us to re-look at the story of the Bible through the lens of recent history and to see how today's rebirth of Israel is not evidence of a new plan of God, but a call for the Church to better understand and engage with the plan He's been working on from the very beginning.
