Meet Me at the Olive Tree


Book Description

Based on The Olive Tree series of radio programmes, the individual stories of Jewish believers and Arab/Palestinian Christians featured in this book present the reader with a dilemma; how to reconcile what is broadcast through the news channels with what God is doing in Israel and the West Bank today! Here you will read how the Body of Christ, which includes both Jews and non-Jews (Arabs/Palestinians) is growing in size and unity in the Holy Land today despite the politics and conflict that divide these two peoples. Reconciliation in the Middle East is fraught with danger and seemingly impossible challenges. However, reconciliation is possible through the Cross, no matter how powerful the childhood indoctrination or how great the social pressure. -This inspirational, heart-warming volume is a must for all who champion reconciliation in our Messiah.- Susan Perlman, Jews for Jesus

Does the Land Remember Me?


Book Description

Summoned by his dying mother, Palestinian-born Aziz Shihab returns to the homeland he and his family fled as refugees decades earlier: to a Palestine reclaimed by Israelis and to a country no longer that of his youth in a nation whose estate has been challenged by history. This gripping book chronicles that month-long journey. Part memoir, part travelogue, it reveals the complexities of leaving behind such the past and coming to grips with its abandonment. With his sharp ear for dialogue and with a journalist’s eye, Shihab records and considers, sometimes with fond humor, the Palestinian psyche. Family meetings brim with soothing time-honored ritual and cultural blindness. Pungent street anecdotes resonate with profound themes like human rights, land dislocation, and poverty. Shihab’s stories of departure and return, loss of land and reconnection provide enriching insights into the depth and intricacy of Palestinian culture and history and its legacy of displacement.
