It may look, lately, as though this blog is turning into a book review club. I just happen to be doing a lot of reading now that hockey is done with for the season.
Our church library is undergoing renovations so we were encouraged to take a lot of books home for the summer to eliminate the problem of storage. One of the books we brought home is pictured above. The author, Tass Saada, was a PLO sniper and Arafat's chauffeur, a Muslim immersed in anti-Israeli activity. As a young man he came to America, where he started a family, changed his faith, and began reconciliation with Jews. Later on he returned to Qatar to face his family and former boss, Arafat, with stories from his new life in Christ. The encounters are astounding. This is a very engaging story. His conversion story is very compelling and his biblical teaching regarding Arabs and Ishmael are very enlightening. This is a story about a radically changed life and gives interesting insights into the Palestinian/Jew conflict and the possible solutions.
