Two Nations Under God: Why You Should Care about Israel

by Tom Doyle

Why should you care about Israel? With the war in Iraq, possible engagement in Iran, and an imminent presidential election, U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and the issue of solidarity with Israel remain important.
 
In Two Nations Under God, American missionary Tom Doyle presents even greater reasons why the U.S. should show concern for Israel. Part one, “Why Should America Care?” is a biblical and historical primer on Israel with fascinating insights into connections between American and Middle East culture. Part two, “Sorting Out the Middle East Maze,” presents more facts about Islam and the spiritual roots behind the Middle East conflicts. Part three, “Maximizing the Moment,” is a call to action and prayer for the A merican church regarding the future of Israel.
 
Best of all, readers will learn throughout that, despite the headlines, there is plenty of good news coming from the Middle East. Doyle reports on the increasing number of Muslims converting to Christianity, profiles local disciples and church planters, and provides helpful timelines, comparison charts, photographs, and more to keep every detail concerning Israel in perspective.

Endorsements:

"Chaos. Carnage. Confusion. For many, that’s the modern Middle East. But Tom Doyle gets it. Better yet, he can really explain it. With a pastor’s heart, he clearly and concisely describes why God loves the Jews of Israel and her Muslim neighbors, and why we should, too. What’s more, Tom reveals how powerfully God is moving in the modern Middle East, and how we can join Him. Two Nations under God is a must read—fascinating, insightful, and deeply thought-provoking. Get one for yourself, and another for your pastor."

This topic is interesting to me. I liked the personal anecdotes in between chapters and found the chapter on ways to be loving to our Muslim neighbors. Sometimes a bit redundant or over-explanatory.

A very important book!

Strongly disagree with the perspective but decently written account of its perspective. Author also wrote "Dreams and Visions" - accounts of muslims receiving dreams about Isa/Jesus. Fascinating.

[Ryan · Rating 5 out of 5]

The author is a man who leads short-term mission teams into some of the most hostile areas of the world. His unique insight and heart for God provide a fascinating glimpse into this most important area of the world. Highly recommend it!

A good overview of the conflict in the Middle East but doesn't compare to Epicenter.
