Doug Hershey is an author, conference speaker and founder of Ezra Adventures, an Israel focused travel and education company. From years of hands-on experience, cultivating unique relationships in Israel and a love for history, Doug provides a rare perspective on the connection between the Jewish Scriptures and present day Israel. In 2008, he wrote his first book, 'The Christian's Biblical Guide to Understanding Israel.' In 2013, he co-authored a joint resolution in support of Israel that passed the Maine State Legislature. His ground breaking photo book project “Israel Rising: Ancient Prophecy/Modern Lens” combines bible prophecy, historical first hand accounts of the land and exact comparison photos from the 1880s-1940s to today, showing how much the land has blossomed under Israeli sovereignty, just as Scriptures foretold. When he is not in Israel, he is speaking in churches and synagogues about the prophesied restoration of Israel. For more info go to EzraAdventures.com.
