This text is both the author's story and the story of his people, the Arab Palestinian Christian Israelis. It is the poignant tale of losing a homeland, struggling to resolve conflict and keeping faith in the ultimate purposes of God.
This book opened my eyes to the background of the existing conflict in the middle east, particularly the Holy Land, like none I had ever read before. I am so grateful for Rev. Abo El-Assal for taking the time to write this book. The Palestinian Christians are in my constant prayer as well as the other peoples residing in that area. If you are living in the west and think that the affairs in that area of the world are not your business, please take time to read this quick and very informative book.
