  Don't just see the sights―get to know the people. 
   
  The Sultanate of Oman, long regarded as one of the more mysterious countries of the Arabian Peninsula, is finally getting more of the attention it so deserves. An ancient land with a rich history and dramatic landscapes, Oman was largely cut off from the modern world until the accession to the throne of Sultan Qaboos in 1970. Since then this peaceful country has developed slowly but deliberately, placing a strong emphasis on retaining its cultural heritage while moving into the hi-tech era. 
   
  Culture Smart! Oman opens the door to this fascinating and complex country, where traditional values coexist cheerfully with all the trappings of modern life. Here, the gentle pace of life contrasts with life in the West and those that take the time to get to know the people of this land, their values, and their way of life, will find that they are greatly enriched. 
   
  Have a more meaningful and successful time abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on values, attitudes, customs, and daily life will help you make the most of your visit, while tips on etiquette and communication will help you navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.

  Do you love living amongst towering redwoods, rolling hills, and world-class wine but never know where to take guests visiting from out of town? Do you draw a blank when thinking of something to do? Are you stuck in a rut and tired of doing the same handful of things? 
  HowExpert Guide to Sonoma County without the Wine is the casually inspiring guide for you. Written by a 20-year Sonoma State University import from Los Angeles, these tips are practical, evergreen, and type diverse. Most tips highlight locations for trip ideas, while some focus on how best to participate at the location. Intermixed the tips are little asides labeled “Fun Fact” or “Did You Know.” They mostly serve as trivia to use for showing off. Read from start to finish or by relevant chapter. 
  Be warned; in an area covering a land mass larger than the state of Rhode Island, there is sure to be an activity missed or a new activity that has since spawned. As no category is exhaustive, the everchanging nature of an urban area is addressed with multiple reminders to search online for further (and current) information.

  Encountering God in the Holy Land 
   
  Over the centuries, God has chosen to reveal himself to humankind in real, physical locations that still exist. Even visions--such as Jacob's ladder and John's Apocalypse--came to people in a particular place. Place is inextricably woven into the Bible's story, and it's one of the most meaningful ways in which we can encounter God today. 
   
  The Holy Land Devotional features the sites that Christian pilgrims most often visit, allowing you to walk in the footsteps of people like Abraham, Joshua, Gideon, Ruth, David, Martha, Peter, and, of course, Jesus. This devotional includes: 
   
  ● beautiful full-color photos 
  ● Scripture linked to Holy Land locations 
  ● reflection questions  
  ● prayers 
  ● life-changing insights from Holy Land travelers 
   
  Whether you've been to the Holy Land, are planning a trip, or just want to know more about the land where Jesus walked, this devotional invites you to grow closer to God as you hear him speaking in and through the Holy Land.
