Description

As a child, Elias Chacour lived in a small Palestinian village in Galilee. When tens of thousands of Palestinians were killed and nearly one million forced into refugee camps in 1948, Elias began a long struggle with how to respond. In Blood Brothers, he blends his riveting life story with historical research to reveal a little-known side of the Arab-Israeli conflict, touching on questions such as: ● What behind-the-scenes politics touched off the turmoil in the Middle East? ● What does Bible prophecy really have to say? ● Can bitter enemies ever be reconciled? Now updated with commentary on the current state of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as well as a new foreword by Lynne Hybels and Gabe Lyons, Blood Brothers offers hope and insight that can help each of us learn to live at peace in a world of tension and terror.… (more)

This book shows how Christian belief in the Promised Land and the Second Coming is compatible with -- I should say, it demands -- a desire for peace and reconciliation between Israelis and Arabs. Elias Chacour is a Palestinian Christian whose family was driven out of the young State of Israel. He

has devoted his life to cultivating neighborly love between Jews, Christians, and Muslims.

An eye-opening account of a Christian Palestinian Family whose roots in the land go back to the time of Christ. This book helped me understand the Palestinian side of the Middle East conflict in Israel. I don't know what the answer is for Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but I do know if more of the

leaders on both sides were as inclined towards love and peace as the family described in this book, that peace would be attainable.
