BACK TO JERUSALEM: FIRST THE MANY. THEN THE ONE.
CHRONICLES A JOURNEY OF FAITH, SERVICE, AND HOPE IN ISRAEL
Steve Martin
shares firsthand experiences from Israel, offering a faith centered account
that highlights compassion, biblical prophecy, and enduring hope during a
pivotal moment in history.
New York, NY, July 7, 2026 — Steve Martin announces the
release of Back To Jerusalem: First the many. Then the One., a Christian
inspirational memoir that recounts his experiences serving alongside fellow
believers in Israel during a significant period of recovery and reflection.
Written during his thirtieth visit to Israel and his fortieth published book,
Martin offers readers a deeply personal account of faith, service, and the
enduring connection between biblical history and present day events.
In Back To Jerusalem: First the many. Then the One., Martin
reflects on his time in Jerusalem with his wife, Laurie, while serving
alongside Christian Friends of Israel Jerusalem. Through personal stories,
vivid observations, and more than 150 photographs, the book documents
encounters with people rebuilding after the devastating events that followed
October 7, 2023. Blending travel memoir with biblical reflection, the narrative
explores themes of compassion, restoration, and the importance of standing with
those experiencing hardship.
The
inspiration for the book arose from Martin's desire to document both the
challenges and the hope he witnessed while ministering to individuals affected
by conflict. By writing many chapters as events unfolded, he preserves the
immediacy of his experiences while sharing his conviction that acts of
kindness, encouragement, and faith can provide comfort during times of uncertainty. His goal is to
invite readers into a journey that is both deeply personal and spiritually
meaningful.
Beyond recounting his travels, the book explores the broader
significance of Israel within biblical prophecy and Christian faith. Martin
reflects on themes of peace, reconciliation, and God's enduring promises while
encouraging readers to consider the role of compassion and service in their own
lives. His observations invite thoughtful reflection on faith, history, and the
shared hope for a future marked by peace and restoration.
The book is intended for Christian readers, Bible study
groups, ministry leaders, and individuals interested in Israel, biblical
history, and faith based travel narratives. Readers seeking a personal
perspective on contemporary events through the lens of Scripture will find an
engaging combination of testimony, historical reflection, and spiritual
encouragement.
Steve Martin is a Christian author and the founder of Love
For His People, a ministry dedicated to encouraging believers and supporting
the people of Israel through faith, prayer, and service. With Back To
Jerusalem: First the many. Then the One., he shares the experiences of his
thirtieth journey to Israel, offering readers a heartfelt testimony of hope,
compassion, and steadfast faith.

INTRODUCTION
From Oct. 16, 2025, to Jan. 12, 2026, my good wife Laurie (48 years of marriage and counting) and I had the most incredible time in Jerusalem and many parts of Israel. We had come to serve with Christian Friends of Israel Jerusalem, as needed.
As I sit on the back veranda of the apartment they provided for us, I watch the sun rise over the southeast as another of His glorious days begins. My heart is full of the love of Yeshua (Jesus) for this, His chosen city, His chosen Land, and His chosen people, the Jews.
We came to bring comfort to His people coming out from a heartbreaking war on the eight fronts the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were fighting, after the horrendous, murderous, home destruction years since October 7, 2023. The Israelis had been fighting for their lives, their families, their land promised to them by the Living God of Israel. We hoped to bring His love to them as Christians, standing on His Word.
God the Father did not fail them. In so many miraculous ways, He protected them, united them, and caused them to cry out to Him for His salvation.
Over 1200 Jewish civilians were lost that day. Over 1000 young men, women, and reserves have since been lost, destroyed by the enemy who seems never to go away.
“We just want peace,” is the cry of our friends’ hearts here in Jerusalem and the surrounding hills.
But, when the Messiah Yeshua returns to this very city, Jerusalem, they will know Him as their Peace King, their Shalom Most High.
Come Jesus! Bo Yeshua!
As that time of His return quickly approaches, we joined with several hundred Christians, coming from the nations, to comfort, stand in support, and let the love of the Father work through us for them.
In this, my 40th book, written during my 30th trip to Israel since the late 1990s, I share some of my stories. Some chapters are in the “present tense” because I wrote them at the time they occurred.
Many Jews are returning to their Land now, as prophesied centuries ago by Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Yeshua Himself. Christians are going to Israel to comfort and support them in their return.
And then Jesus (Yeshua) will return as the King of kings and Lord of lords.
I desire that the Lord Himself will touch your heart, and you, too, will join Him in this glorious work, to see His salvation come to the Jews and Arabs of Israel.
