>>> AS YOU ALL KNOW, KATHIE LEE HAS WRITTEN A VERY SPECIAL BOOK
THATS OUT TODAY.
ITS ABOUT FAITH AND HER TRAVELS TO ISRAEL.FAITH AND HER TRAVELS
TO ISRAEL. >> IVE BEEN GOING TO ISRAEL
SINCE I WAS 17, BUT IT WASNT
UNTIL I STARTED STUDYING THE ORIGINAL TEXTS IN HEBREW AND
GREEK AND HIKING THE LAND MYSELF
THAT I FINALLY BEGAN TO
UNDERSTAND MY FAITH.
I TEAMED UP WITH MY RABBI JASON SOBEL TO WRITE "THE ROCK, THEON
SOBEL TO WRITE "THE ROCK, THE RABBI AND THE -- THE ROAD AND
THE RABBI."
THE RABBI." >> I ACTUALLY STUDIED ALL THE
PLACES WHERE THE STORY TAKES
PLACE.
PLACE.
WHEN YOU HAVE THOSE THREE THINGS
TOGETHER, ITS TRANSFORMATIVE. YOURE NEVER THE SAME WHEN YOU
GO THERE.
GO THERE. WHAT I LEARNED BY STUDYING THE
ORIGINAL GREEK AND THE ORIGINAL
HEBREW AND HOW MANY MYTHS ARE
OUT THERE.
OUT THERE.
I LEARNED THAT JESUS WAS NOT A CARPENTER BUT HE WAS A STONE A
CARPENTER BUT HE WAS A STONE MASON, BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING
BUT ROCK IN ISRAEL THEN. THAT ROCKED ME, AND I THINK
THATS WHAT SET ME ON THE PATH
TO WRITE THIS BOOK.
I SAID TO MY DIRECTOR, RAY, IF
WERE WRONG ABOUT THAT, WHAT
ELSE ARE WE WRONG ABOUT?
HE GOT A TWINKLE IN HIS EYE AND
SAID, EVERYTHING.
SAID, EVERYTHING. IF IM GOING TO SAY IM A JESUS
BELIEVER, THEN I NEED TO KNOW
MORE ABOUT JESUS.
THAT TRIP TOGETHER IN APRIL -- I
THINK IT WAS 2012 CHANGED MY
HUSBANDS LIFE.
HUSBANDS LIFE. HE DIDNT WANT TO GO, AND WERE
CLIMBING UP A MOUNTAIN ON OUR
FIRST DATE AND HES NOT A HAPPY
CAMPER.
CAMPER.
BUT WE GET TO THE TOP.
THEN OUR TEACHER STARTS TO OPEN UP THE SCRIPTURES TO US ANDOPEN
UP THE SCRIPTURES TO US AND BRING IT ALIVE TO US.
HE GOT A HUGE DOSE OF HUMILITY
AT THE TOP OF THAT MOUNTAIN
BECAUSE HE STARTED LEARNING AND
HE STARTED SOAKING IT IN.
THEN WE WENT TO THE VALLEY OF
ALLAH WHERE DAVID FOUGHT GOLIATH
AND IT HASNT CHANGED IN 3,000
YEARS, AND RAY TOLD US TO PICK
UP A STONE JUST LIKE DAVID DID
AND ASKED US, WHAT IS OUR STONE?
WHAT IS GOD GOING TO ASK US TO
PICK UP AND THROW AT THE CHAOS
OF THE WORLD TO BRING GOD TO
SHAL
SHAL
SHALOM TO -- THAT WE NEED SO
DESPERATELY.
FRANK STARTED SLOWING DOWN.
HE SAID, IM NOT AFRAID OF DYING.D, IM NOT AFRAID OF
DYING.
IM ACTUALLY STARTING TO GET
REALLY CURIOUS. AND I REALLY BELIEVE THAT WAS A
RESULT OF THAT TRIP TO ISRAEL
WHERE HE DISCOVERED THAT THE
REASON DAVID COULD KILL A GIANT
WITH THIS STONE WAS NOT BECAUSE
HE WAS STRONGER THAN GOLIATH,
ITS BECAUSE HE HAD A PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP WITH A LIVING GOD.
THATS WHERE HIS STRENGTH CAME
FROM.
FROM.
AND THATS WHERE ALL OF OUR STRENGTH COMES FROM.OF OUR
STRENGTH COMES FROM. WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO JUST
PRACTICE OUR FAITH FOR AN HOUR
ON A SATURDAY OR A SUNDAY OR A
FRIDAY.
FRIDAY.
OUR FAITH IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN HIM WE LIVE AND MOVE AND HAVEN
HIM WE LIVE AND MOVE AND HAVE OUR ENTIRE BEING.
ITS A MOMENT-TO-MOMENT JOURNEY
WITH GOD.
WITH GOD. IT ACTUALLY MEANS THE WORLD TO
ME TO GO INTO THAT ROOM AND LOOK
AS HIS STONE.
BECAUSE I REMEMBER HOW PRECIOUS
THE LORD WAS TO HIM TO TEACH HIM
SOMETHING SO VITAL AND SO
PRECIOUS NEAR THE END OF HIS
LIFE THAT GAVE HIM STRENGTH AND
GAVE HIM COMFORT, GAVE HIM
PEACE.
PEACE.
I CAN SMELL SPRING, BAMBINO. MY STONE, I HAVE A LOT OFNO.
MY STONE, I HAVE A LOT OF PEBBLES.
PEBBLES.
I THROW A LOT OF PEBBLES. MY STONE NOW IS TO SHARE THE
GOOD NEWS THAT GOD LOVES YOU
WITH AN ALL-CONSUMING FIRE OF A
LOVE, AND HES JUST WAITING FOR
YOU.
YOU.
JUST WAITING FOR YOU TO COME TO HIM. WAITING FOR YOU TO COME TO
HIM. >> THAT IS BEAUTIFUL.
THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
>> THANK YOU TO OUR PRECIOUS
EMILY GOLDBERG.
