Palestinian Christians . . . rejected by Palestinians because they won’t take up arms against Israel. Rejected by Israelis because they’re Palestinian. Rejected by the historical church because they’re evangelical. Rejected by the West because, well, all Palestinians are terrorists, aren’t they? For the first time, they get to tell their story—uncut and un-tempered by political correctness. More stories you’ll never see on CNN—stories that will amaze you and touch your heart!

Good to be reminded of our unity in Christ, and of our calling to love all others, regardless of politics or race. It is so encouraging to read of others who are continuing to trust in God through difficult situations - we don't always appreciate the trials and persecutions that Jesus told us we can expect when following Him, but this book shows us those who are more than familiar with trials, but also still filled with love for God and for others.
Great writing about the struggle of Christians in the middle east. the strife from those who dislike muslim and Islam. and strife from those in the middle east (almost everyone) that hate Christian. lends good perspective
