Window on Mount Zion

by Pauline Rose

Pauline Rose (1898-1973), the "Lady of Mount Zion," wanted to participate in the fulfillment of biblical prophecies about the restoration of Zion and Jerusalem. She found a house with a plot of land on desolate Mount Zion and made it bloom, all under the sights of the Jordanian guns. Vine of David presents Window on Mount Zion, a new edition of Pauline Rose's inspiring story of restoring a home on Mount Zion, planting a garden, and surviving the Six-Day War.

Window on Mount Zion is one of those books that seemed nearly perfect to me, especially because it really happened. I loved this story of how the courageous, faith-filled Roses established a home and haven on Mount Zion to beautify this holy site and to minister to visitors. The garden Pauline planted sounds breathtaking--I'm a sucker for gardens, so I would adore seeing hers. The Roses' love for every person, no matter the nationality, and their desire for peace is inspiring. How I would thrive visiting with Pauline Rose and talking about God, the Bible, and Israel . . . but I'm fifty years too late.

Mrs. Rose takes readers through about two years on Mount Zion, describing how she and her husband came to live there, how they and their guests celebrated each festival, and ending with the fast-paced six-day battle for Jerusalem and the epilogue. A fascinating read for anyone who loves Israel!

Imagine living in a house on Mount Zion in Jerusalem where peace reigned and your garden flourished and you entertained many interesting strangers, and all the while you were surrounded by hostile soldiers -- and then the Six-Day war of 1967 happened.
