Questions to consider:
Many people are unaware of the Christian presence in the West Bank. Were you aware of these brothers and sisters in faith? Did you realize that their numbers are declining in staggering proportions? Were there any stories shared in this book that took you by surprise? Were your presuppositions challenged by what the author shared? What do you see our role (as believers in Christ) being in that part of the world?  Do you think your views are in line with the views of most evangelical Christians in the United States?

Okay. I apologize for the delay in my posting, but I have been having a difficult time finding copies of my next book. I have finally located a number of copies, and they are on their way to the church.  The book this month is Light Force by Brother Andrew. 

I don’t want to be too apologetic because this book is very thought-provoking and well-written, but I understand that we have been spending a whole lot of time in the Middle East over the past months.  (I promise we will move on to another part of the world next month.)  I have chosen this book, though, for very personal reasons.  As many of you know, my daughter and I will be leaving in a few days to attend a peace with justice conference in the West Bank.  This book, I have discovered, introduces you to a few people that we have already met in our travels and many more that we are slated to be introduced to in the coming days.  By having you read this book, I am hoping that we will be able to dialogue about what we experienced on our trip and some of the issues that are being dealt with in the Middle East, especially the West Bank.  I am encouraging this book for not just bloggers but also for anyone at church who is concerned for our Arab Christian brothers and sisters.  Please feel free to share it with others.  I’m looking forward to hearing/reading your comments as we share this book together.
