Essential Bible Story Maps: 39 Reference Maps and 30 Mapping Activities

Immerse yourself in the Story of the Bible. With these 39 maps, you can take off your shoes and walk the dusty paths of Abraham, Samson and Jesus.

The maps in this set walk you through one biblical story at a time so you can follow the geographical thread that runs through the narrative of the Bible.

This is not a Bible atlas. Those are good resources and you should have one on hand, but we were aiming for something different here. This is a companion to reading the Story of the Bible from beginning to end. You can either follow along with the characters on the reference maps, or mark their paths yourself on the activity maps. As biblical storytellers, we wanted to be able to show our hearers the places where the stories took place, so that they could immerse themselves that much further in the Story.
