Impelled, compelled, and propelled by her faith as a progressive Christian, Eileen Fleming has journeyed four times to the Occupied Palestinian Territories since June 2005. She has met with democratically elected and NONVIOLENT members of Hamas, scores of Palestinian Christians and Muslims, and a few 21st-century prophets. The pages within this brave new work contain some of those interviews and her experiences listening to Christians, Muslims, Jews, secularists, anarchists, Nobel Peace Prize Nominees, and the whistleblower of Israel’s underground WMD Program. This fascinating portrait will open your eyes and heart, and you will look at the Middle East in a new light. “You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free.” —John 8:32

There have always been Christians who have never abandoned the true teachings of Christ, such as the Quakers, Mennonites, some Catholics and Protestants who have faithfully denounced violence and cared for the poor. There have also always been Jews, Muslims, atheists, anarchists, secularists and other's who have lived lives that embody the message of Christ.
I have had the opportunity to meet some of these people in Israel and Palestine and they are the inspiration for this book and the reason why a nice Irish American "girl" like me journeyed into Occupied Territory.
