This unique resource offers the fascinating account of Donald E. Wagner's personal experience with the Middle East and calls Western Christians to work with Middle East Christians in healing the pain of Jews and Palestinians. Wagner grippingly tells of his early involvement with streams of Christianity that treat Israel's possession of the Holy Land as fulfillment of a divine plan that will result in the apocalyptic battle of Armageddon.
Wagner and O'Neill delve into their vast experience in the Middle East to help readers understand what happened when Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat shook hands in a peace agreement on the White House lawn. Foreword by Richard C. Halverson.
