  There are very few books on the Christian market that deal with the Palestinian/Israeli situation from a neutral point of view. Many Christians do not have a developed understanding of the situation in the Holy Land, but are very interested in the topic. Much of their knowledge of the country comes from overwhelmingly negative news reports. When they do hear about the many positive things that God is doing through the Christians on both sides, they are encouraged and excited. This book introduces Christians from both sides who are involved in reconciliation work, telling their stories to show how God is using them as a witness to their own people. In doing so, the book discusses the unique challenges they face as believers in their own society, using the common thread of the author's travels throughout the Middle East and includes a brief history of the country and description of the present borders to help the reader understand the geographical and political factors affecting the people who live in Israel and the West Bank.
