Why Israel Matters is designed to demonstrate in a powerful way the crucial importance of the Jewish state of Israel to Christians, to America, and to the world.

Produced by Liberty Counsel and CIDI in association with Impact Productions, and filmed on location and with many fascinating guests, Why Israel Matters explores the awe-inspiring wonder of this tiny miracle nation from its biblical roots and its heartbreaking history as a scattered people, to its tenacious reemergence as an independent nation and its role today as a model of courage, perseverance and hope that can inspire people throughout the world.
