A growing number believe not. So--where were they? See my book, 'THE PLACE HaMakom: where Jerusalem's temples stood' OR my E-book 'THE TEMPLE QUEST'...details of each below. ![]() About this site: Who, What, Why?

![]() A serendipitous true story of 'finding' a father who was never known. A must to encourage anyone searching war records or doing genealogy searches. Well written in compelling and heart-warming style, this book can be read in one sitting, or savoured over a few days! |
What readers are saying about:
THE TEMPLE QUEST: Through enlightening discussions of extensive biblical passages, Ian illustrates how the Jews thoroughly understood what "the place" (HaMakom) meant to the Jewish psyche or soul, but which most often escapes the modern reader. He clearly proves the location of the temple to be above the Gihon Spring in Jerusalem, and this by using only biblical passages. His ability to tease out new information from familiar scriptures and provide new insights is remarkable and rewarding. His work provides the "living water" which he discusses within the work, which uplifts, enlightens, and expands the spirit.
Marilyn Sams, Author: 'The Jerusalem Temple Mount Myth' and other important books and papers.
THE PLACE: Ian Heard's book adds a unique fictional aspect to the growing movement of people accepting the City of David location for the temples in Jerusalem. His perspective on how many biblical events converged at this location brings many insightful possibilities to the table. Especially moving are his heartfelt expressions of faith in and love for the prophets and the Savior of the world.

'I Iove it, I love it!! This book is The Place to find your Place! ..... I share the view that the temple in Jerusalem was more likely to be found in the city of David rather than where the present western wall is situated.'
Barry Buirski, Celebrate Messian Ministry, Australia
THE PEOPLE: The People is an enthralling and innovative approach not only to telling old familiar stories but using narrative to portray, in a subtle but powerful way, the truth of good and evil in our world . . . There is good and evil, God and Satan, and in every human relationship/interaction and behavior a choice is to be made. The consequences, for those with the spiritual eyes to see, are clear. It is an exceptional and well written piece of work."
Allan Bull, MacQuarie University, Sydney
THE PERSON: In this absorbing read Ian illustrates the beckoning heart of God encountering the hesitating heart of man at the crossroads of Wisdom and ‘Un-Wisdom’. He artfully states a tell-tale divine musing on P.20 “Many wonder at our election of a single human through whom to begin the unfolding of large purpose, but it is our way”. It’s a banquet at a table of archetypal Wisdom. Eat there slowly, linger and be fed.
