Reviews

[Andy Gore · Rating 5 out of 5]

A deeply moving account of the Middle East from the 1980's to early 2000's covering the civil war in Lebanon, the first and second interfada. It is, as the cover shows, about reconciliation and hope amidst the violence. 20 years on the violence has intensified and worsened. Brother Andrew calls us to prayer and to action, may we all respond with open hearts.
