"Love For His People - The Land and Friends of Israel" - Steve Martin

 


In several of my previous 38 books, I wrote stories and chapters on Israel and our friends in the Land. Their lives, their courage, and the Ahava Adventures we have had, sharing our time with them in Eretz Israel.

In my desire to share these stories with you in a more concise manner, I have chosen the “best ones” and included in this book, “Love For His People – The Land and Friends in Israel”.

Having given almost 39 years so far (and this being my 39th book!) to loving and supporting the chosen people, as the Living God of Israel so ordained throughout the Bible of the Jewish people, it is proper and time.

When one considers Jerusalem, your first thoughts may be of wonder – why are the nations so bent on telling its people what to do, how to do it, and when to do it? It is as if they are the supreme governors, rather than the Jews, whose capital it is..

When the Jew, King David, first made Jerusalem his capital city, long before other nations and religions even existed, over 3,000 years ago, he was following in the commands of the Lord, God of Israel, to do so. Upon the same mountain that Abraham was about to sacrifice his son, Isaac, on Mount Moriah, King David established the city where the Lord would later have His temple built by David’s son, King Solomon.

Now, centuries later, prior to the time when the Third Temple will be built on the same location, the Jews have returned to their Promised Land, re-established their nation in 1948, and recaptured the entire city of Jerusalem during the Six-Day War in 1967. The times of the Gentiles' rule over the city have drawn to an end. The time of the Jews will complete this end.

Having been victorious in the wars surrounding nations have begun against them, the Jewish people continue to be under the protection of the Lord Almighty, Who Himself will cause them to be the fulfillment of Scripture, and be in the Land that He will return to, as the Ruler of the Nations.

Those who stand with Israel, and particularly Jerusalem, will receive the promised blessings given to those who do so. The ones who oppose the purposes of God for these people and this land will receive the eternal judgment He also promises He will hand out.

Sharing this book, containing some of my experiences in Jerusalem and all of Israel, is a joy, and also a promise to always stand with Israel.

May the good Lord, Yeshua HaMashiach, His Father, and the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) touch your heart as they have touched mine.

Ahava and Shalom,

Steve Martin

Steve Martin's new book, "Come and Go" - FREE ebook ONLY Aug. 19-23, 2025. You don't need Kindle to get it. Yeah, Lord!

 Steve Martin's new book, "Come and Go" 

You don't need Kindle to get it. Yeah, Lord!

Or...you can purchase the paperback now for $6.99. Click here: Come and Go - Paperback $6.99
Greetings, friends and family.

I was basically shocked when I saw, for the first time ever, that I had sold the most books ever in one week on Amazon.

Even with 38 books now published, it hasn't been a "money maker", as I just enjoy writing and publishing. I give away 99.99% of my books to encourage others.

But maybe a little bit of royalty will be another income source for our Israel volunteer time. Yeah, Lord!
Being I want to get this book into as many hands as possible, I am giving it away as the published ebook to anyone worldwide who would like to receive it. You DO NOT need Kindle in order to get it. You can download it to your mobile phone, desktop, or other device you have. 

The "ebook" version doesn't include all the great photos in the paperback version, so you might want to consider buying the paperback version too. Easy to read in bed, on the road, or on the front porch swing, as I like to do with hand-held books.

Come and Go - latest book by Steve Martin



DEDICATION

 With this, my 38th book, I dedicate to those who hear the Word of the Lord. And obey it.

First, to Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28, NASB). 

And then, to those who hear and obey His command. “And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation,” (Mark 16:15, NASB), taking His message of forgiveness, love, and grace to walk in His plans and purposes for your life.

May His Holy Spirit continue to guide you and lead you to the completion of the assigned mission He has given specifically to you. And be encouraged!

Ahava and shalom, 

Steve Martin


INTRODUCTION

 

When the Lord calls each of us to “come, follow Me”, He does so because He has a great plan and purpose for each of our lives. He knows what our desires are, but most importantly, He is the one who puts those desires in our hearts.

As you seek Him, He will lead you to places you have never dreamed of, giving you missions you had never thought possible, and will direct your steps to complete the total picture He has for you, as you take your place in His Body among the peoples of the nations.

My good and beautiful wife, Laurie, and me are going to Jerusalem this fall, October 2025, to volunteer with Christian Friends of Israel. It is my 30th trip to The Land and her 9th. We are blessed!

We have heard the word to “Come”, and now we have again heard the word of the Lord to “Go.”

And thus, we shall!

Blessings on ye head,

Steve Martin


You can also purchase this one on Amazon...




As a special added note: In October, Laurie and I will be going to Jerusalem for three months to volunteer at Christian Friends of Israel.  (Oct. 15, 2025-Jan. 12, 2026)

You can read all about it here: Up To Jerusalem

Why 70 and not 30? New message from Steve Martin, Love For His People (Constant Contact email)

 

1-Newsmallerwithshadow-png.png


Aug. 5, 2025


Greetings to you once again.


 So I am trying to get things done - sell the car, publish the new book (done!), go on the Antioch International Church men's rafting this weekend, travel to Kansas, and continue to hear the Word of the Lord as we prepare. And...pack my 70-pound-plus suitcase and carry-on. Started!


As I asked the Lord, "Why at this time are we going?" His response gave me my new message, "Why Now at 70 and Not 30?" Curious? Please take the time to read. It might just be for you, too!


During our travel to the Midwest (10 states in 9 days to see family and friends, I recorded another good set of videos. Look at these: North Carolina/Kentucky/Illinois/Iowa/Minnesota video playlist


Also...more photos to share - special ones I picked out of the 40,000+ on my laptop and "in the cloud" - somewhere out there. It is my joy to share them with you.


Enjoy this final month of summer. August (#8) has prophetically been a good month, with new beginnings for many of us. I hope for you, too, as the Lord continually reveals His plans to us as we seek Him.


Ahava and Shalom,


Steve Martin

Why now at 70 and not 30?

  

“After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to him (Moses) in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in the flame of a burning thorn bush.” Acts 7:30, NASB

 

In Exodus, we read a little bit more of Moses' response to the Lord’s calling to him, after the Lord appeared to him.


7-8 God said, “I’ve taken a good, long look at the affliction of my people in Egypt. I’ve heard their cries for deliverance from their slave masters; I know all about their pain. And now I have come down to help them, pry them loose from the grip of Egypt, get them out of that country and bring them to a good land with wide-open spaces, a land lush with milk and honey, the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.


9-10 “The Israelite cry for help has come to me, and I’ve seen for myself how cruelly they’re being treated by the Egyptians. It’s time for you to go back: I’m sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people, the People of Israel, out of Egypt.”


11 Moses answered God, “But why me? What makes you think that I could ever go to Pharaoh and lead the children of Israel out of Egypt?” (emphasis mine)


12 “I’ll be with you,” God said. “And this will be the proof that I am the one who sent you: When you have brought my people out of Egypt, you will worship God right here at this very mountain.”


13 Then Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the People of Israel and I tell them, ‘The God of your fathers sent me to you’; and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ What do I tell them?”


14 God said to Moses, “I-AM-WHO-I-AM. Tell the People of Israel, ‘I-AM sent me to you.’” The Message

 

When I was 30, having already been married 7 years, with my wife being just 25, with two sons and two daughters having escaped out of the womb, the Lord had already put in my heart to “go to the nations”. I can remember being 10, and my mom talking about how she had always wanted to be a missionary and telling me about it. But with her marriage and eight kids to raise, that never happened.

 

I think her heart became mine, which had come from the same Father.

 

But now, at the ripe old age of 70, that long-held desire of my heart, which He had put there, is being fulfilled. My wife Laurie and I are going to Jerusalem to volunteer at Christian Friends of Israel for three months. Finally!

 

But why did the Lord wait so long? Why wasn’t the time right for me to go at 30, when I, really, really wanted to? When I was young, and full of wisdom, and knew more than the Lord did. Or so I thought at times.

 

Looking back at the patriarchs, i.e., Abraham, Moses, even David, it is almost plain to see that the Lord loves those who are “seasoned”, “prepared”, “having gone through the wringer” (an ancient term that very old people know about.)

 

I do see the wisdom of the Lord now. It has only taken me 40 years. Now firmly believing, as one should, that “when I am weak He is strong”.

 

“Therefore I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in distresses, in persecutions, in difficulties, in behalf of Christ; for when I am weakthen I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:10, NASB



God the Father seems to know what is best. After all, “Father Knows Best”, as the TV show proved, beginning in 1954 (the year of my birth) through 1960, had us all believing in a godly father, a godly mother, a loving household, and the good ways of American life back then. Before much of it was stained by the ways of the world.

 

My heart is to see those of you who have reached those “golden years” to realize that it is not the time to retire, to sit on the front porch swing (which I do enjoy) and read the latest Robert Whitlow novel (whom I know personally and highly recommend.)

 

It is time for us to use that wisdom, those years of hard knocks and knives in the back, scares on our knees from praying, and joys that we know He has blessed us with, and go to the cities, the states, the nations…and do what our great Father, the Living God of Israel, has so prepared for us to do.

 

Let’s go!

 

Ahava and Shalom,

 

Steve Martin
