Ancient Isrealites and Their Neighbors: An Activity Guide by Marian Broida

Similar to the peviously evaluated Ancient Egyptians and their Neighbors, this is a winter-promise type activity book. 
Divided into three parts, it discussed the Philistines, the Phoenicians, and the Isrealites.  Lots of intertesting text with photos (although all in black and white), every few pages has an activity or two to help with retention of learning.  Make a blackberry dye with the phoenecians, a merchants scale for the philistines, or make an ancient israelite meal, complete with freshly stomped grape juice.  I am not big on crafts, and I've even pulled a few ideas out of this book.  Total of about 40 activities, plus text.
