About the Author
A road map for peace in the Middle East? Maybe, but most people need a real map to help them find their way on the Arab-Israeli conflict. Questions like: Whose land? What is a settlement? Who is a terrorist? just aren’t answered through the major media. This book will give you exactly what you need—the history, the facts and the biblical compass to help you find the truth about this ancient conflict, and why what happens there is of crucial importance to people everywhere!
-Janet Parshall, nationally syndicated talk show host
Like the noble sons of Issachar in the past, Michael Rydelnik understands, “the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do” (1 Chronicles 12:32). This is a must-read primer for anyone interested in making sense of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
-Charles H. Dyer, author, What’s Next?, and Strike the Dragon
The differing opinions concerning the Arab-Israeli conflict are often filled with more heat than light. Read this book and you will understand history and the Bible better.
