What Life Will Be Like After Armageddon   by Ray Ruppert

The world today is in a state of economic chaos. Governments are threatening to collapse; Iran is getting closer to having a nuclear bomb (they already have the missile capability to deliver one to Israel); a pandemic could easily wipe out millions. Life as we know it today could abruptly change for the worse.

The Bible is clear that economic, pandemic, and environmental disasters will culminate in a global war. That battle will take place in the valley of Armageddon in Israel. It says that demonic spirits will perform great signs to lure the kings of the whole world in assembling at the low hills around Megiddo overlooking the Plain of Esdraelon where many of Israel’s ancient battles were fought. The difference between this battle and previous ones is that these kingdoms will be assembling to fight against Almighty God.

Besides the demonic deception, the leaders of these nations will gather because they believe that God has caused the problems. They are right. The earth will be real mess by this time. God will have already killed one fourth of the population by wars, famine, pestilence, and even wild animals. There have been at least two gigantic world shaking earthquakes. How many will die in those isn’t recorded.

A third of the earth has been burned including a third of the trees and all the grass. A third of the oceans have been polluted by what appears to be an asteroid impact. A third of the animal life in the sea and a third of all shipping is wiped out. Another meteorite pollutes one third of the fresh water on the earth. Not surprisingly, this all probably causes such atmospheric pollution that the sun is dimmed by one third of its power and a third of the stars can’t be seen.

A third of the population is also killed in addition to all that died from the previous pollutants and fires. We aren’t told how many people will be killed during the battle of Armageddon. It could be that people all around the world who have aligned themselves with the kings will also be killed. The result is that earth’s population will be significantly reduced, perhaps to only a few million.

As the kings gather, many things will happen at about the same time. Babylon will be destroyed. This could be a symbolic name for another city or a rebuilt Babylon in Iraq. Jesus will come back with the armies of heaven and completely destroy the armies at Armageddon. For seven years, the cities of Israel will use the left over armament at Armageddon for fuel. They will send out search parties for seven months to find and bury all the bones of the dead.

Obviously, there will be people left doing this clean up. But what will the earth look like? Will the atmosphere be polluted for generations so that life is miserable? Will the infrastructure of the nations be devastated so that commerce reverts to bargaining and trading? How long will it take the earth to heal, vegetation to grow back, and the oceans to return to normal? Will mankind be able to survive until this happens?

The Bible doesn’t talk about how long these things will take. However, some very interesting changes will take place that indicate God will restore the planet. He will make it better than it has since before the flood. These are supernatural changes that affect the very nature of man and animals.

Carnivorous animals such as lions, leopards, and wolves will no long prey on other animals. Lambs, goats, and calves will dwell together in safety. The will graze together. This means the very DNA of these animals will be altered so that they can subsist on vegetation. The natural fear of carnivores will be taken away. These animals will be so tame that a child can safely walk up to them. Concerning vegetation, even harmful brier and thorn bushes will no longer grow. Instead, productive trees will take their place. The Dead Sea will also come alive and be teeming with fish.

It is a result of Satan’s deception that the world is in its current decaying state after mankind’s fall in the Garden of Eden. When Jesus comes back, He will bind Satan locking him in a pit. It is only fitting that Jesus will then return the earth back to the same or better state as it was in the Garden of Eden. It is evident that this dramatic change will be occur since plant and animal DNA will need to be altered for it to happen. Significant environmental changes will also be required.

What about people, will mankind’s DNA be changed as well? That is possible as well. The Bible certainly says that people will suddenly be living longer after Jesus returns. Infant mortality will actually cease. People who are a hundred years old will be considered only in their youth. If a person dies at the young age of a hundred, he will be considered accursed or a sinner.

It is possible that this long life may be a result of genetic changes in the human race or it could be because diseases will be eliminated. Death due to violence and war will no longer happen because Jesus will be in control of the earth. The Bible says He will rule with a rod of iron. That means that He and those who will be ruling with Him will have such a tight grip on society that rebellion and criminal activity will be effectively stopped before any harm can come to others.

There will be many benefits to this new society. Poverty will be eliminated because Jesus will make sure that everyone shares with others. Everyone will have the same opportunity for education. There will always be work available to anyone who wants a job. There won’t be a welfare system to enable people to live off others. Jesus’ government will make sure that able-bodied people will be working or punished if they don’t. People who don’t like Christian values in this age will find this new society to be very oppressive.

People who think capitalism is the only correct form of economics will be shocked to discover that the CEO of a company has the same rewards and benefits as the janitor. If the janitor has five kids and the CEO has only one, then the janitor would have a bigger house. The CEO may have some things that the Janitor doesn’t but it will only be because they are necessary for effectively running the company. The company will exist to provide products or services to others. Its success will not be measured by profits but how well it does this and without charge. The government, led by Jesus, will make sure that all is fair by His standards.

Considering all the changes that will be made, the earth could be rapidly repopulated. People will retain the technologies that have mushroomed in the past century. In this new environment, they will increase even faster. Since people will not die off when their research is yet unfinished, it won’t have to pass on to someone else who had to go over the same learning curve as his predecessor. This would lead to breakthroughs in physics which could enable travel to other planets and even stars.

Army Fatigues: Joining Israel’s Army of International Volunteers $18.98 Why do thousands of people from around the world volunteer to work on Israeli military bases? Why would they give up their vacation time and pay their way to and from Israel in order to work very hard there? Mark Werner, an American lawyer and son of a Holocaust survivor, grew up with a strong feeling of connection with Israel. With the breakdown of the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks and the outbreak of the second Intifada in 2000 – suicide bomber attacks on Israeli civilians – he wanted to support Israel in a more personal way than simply "writing a check." He chose a program called Sar-el, "Volunteers for Israel," which places volunteers from all over the world on Israeli military bases. The workforce provided by the Sar-el volunteers frees up Israeli soldiers and makes an important contribution to the Israeli army. Using his vacation time, Werner worked on an Israeli military base side by side with Israeli soldiers and other volunteers. He found the experience so rewarding that he returned for three more stints in the following years. Army Fatigues chronicles his experience as a volunteer in Israel during some of the most stressed (Intifada) years in its recent history. It focuses on the everyday lives of Israeli soldiers and civilians, offering an insider’s view of Israel’s armed forces, as well as a portrait of a democratic society structured on self-defense. The author also explores the motivations of his fellow volunteers, for whom volunteering is often part of a personal journey. Above all, this is the ongoing story of a middle-aged American white collar professional stepping out of his comfort zone to make a meaningful contribution to Israel and forge his own connections to it.

Israel and Its Army: From Cohesion to Confusion $170.98 The Israel Defense Force (IDF) plays a key role in Israeli society, and has traditionally been perceived not only as the guardian of national survival, but also as a ‘people’s army’ responsible for the custody of national values. This volume analyses the circumstances currently undermining these perceptions, and explores both the changes occurring in Israel’s military framework, and their potential implications. The book highlights the influence exerted by massive shifts in both Israel’s external strategic landscape and in the country’s domestic and cultural environments, which have compelled the IDF to undertake major programmes of structural reform, technological adaptation and doctrinal revision. This book argues that these changes have lead the public to subject the armed forces and their conduct to unprecedented critical scrutiny. The way in which Israelis and their army resolve these tensions is of crucial importance not only for Israel, but for the Middle East as a whole.

The Unmaking of Israel $23.48 In this penetrating and provocative look at the state of contemporary Israel, acclaimed Israeli historian and journalist Gershom Gorenberg reveals how the nation’s policies are undermining its democracy and existence as a Jewish state, and explains what must be done to bring it back from the brink. Refuting shrill defenses of Israel and equally strident attacks, Gorenberg shows that the Jewish state is, in fact, unique among countries born in the postcolonial era: It began as a parliamentary democracy and has remained one. An activist judiciary has established civil rights. Despite discrimination against its Arab minority, Israel has given a political voice to everyone within its borders. Yet shortsighted policies, unintended consequences, and the refusal to heed warnings now threaten those accomplishments. By keeping the territories it occupied in the Six-Day War, Israel has crippled its democracy and the rule of law. The unholy ties between state, settlement, and synagogue have promoted a new brand of extremism, transforming Judaism from a humanistic to a militant faith. And the religious right is rapidly gaining power within the Israeli army, with possibly catastrophic consequences. In order to save itself, Gorenberg argues, Israel must end the occupation, separate state from religion, and create a new civil Israeli identity that can be shared by Jews and Arabs. Based on groundbreaking historical research–including documents released through the author’s Israeli Supreme Court challenge to military secrecy–and on a quarter century of experience reporting in the region, "The Unmaking of Israel" is a brilliant, deeply personal critique by a progressive Israeli, and a plea for realizing the nation’s potential.

Israel Is Real $3.98 "It’s a great irony that Israel was more secure as an idea than it’s ever been as a nation with an army."In AD 70, when the Second Temple was destroyed, a handful of visionaries saved Judaism by reinventing it–by taking what had been a national religion, identified with a particular place, and turning it into an idea. Jews no longer needed Jerusalem to be Jews. Whenever a Jew studied–wherever he was–he would be in the holy city. In this way, a few rabbis turned a real city into a city of the mind; in this way, they turned the Temple into a book and preserved their faith. Though you can burn a city, you cannot sack an idea or kill a book. But in our own time, Zionists have turned the book back into atemple. And unlike an idea, a temple can be destroyed. The creation of Israel has made Jews vulnerable in a way they have not been for two thousand years.In "Israel Is Real," Rich Cohen’s superb new history of the Zionist idea and the Jewish state–the history of a nation chronicled as if it were the biography of a person–he brings to life dozens of fascinating figures, each driven by the same impulse: to reach Jerusalem. From false messiahs such as David Alroy (Cohen calls him the first superhero, with his tallis as a cape) and Sabbatai Zevi, who led thousands on a mad spiritual journey, to the early Zionists (many of them failed journalists), to the iconic figures of modern Jewish Sparta, David Ben-Gurion, Golda Meir, Yitzhak Rabin, and Ariel Sharon, Cohen shows how all these lives together form a single story, a single life. In this unique book, Cohen examines the myth of the wandering Jew, the paradox of Jewish power (how can you be both holy and nuclear?), and the triumph and tragedy of the Jewish state–how the creation of modern Israel has changed what it means to be a Jew anywhere.

Israel’s Asymmetric Wars $84.48 This book is devoted to Israel’s asymmetric wars, those conducted against irregular armed groups that have attacked it. It seeks to understand the Israeli strategy in the fight against terrorists acting under the guise of civilians or using the population as human shields. The army has implemented a loosely devised, if not simplistic, doctrine of "disproportionate response" since Israel’s founding. The results have been mediocre, nearly always leading to the death of innocent Arab civilians and exacerbating anti-Israeli sentiment. Each time it has led to an escalation that is difficult to control and thrown the entire country into an increasingly inextricable situation. Practically every time it has made Israel, the aggressed party, look like the aggressor. What explains such perseverance? This research is based on vast documentation collected in Israel as well as on more than 60 in-depth interviews with officers and simple soldiers, senior counterterrorism officials, politicians, journalists and NGOs.

Israel and Palestine: Reappraisals, Revisions, Refutations $20.48 "The only way to make sense of Israel’s senseless war in Gaza is through understanding the historical context. Establishing the state of Israel in May 1948 involved a monumental injustice to the Palestinians. I write as someone who served loyally in the Israeli army in the mid-1960s and who has never questioned the legitimacy of the state of Israel within its pre-1967 borders. What I utterly reject is the Zionist colonial project beyond the Green Line. The Israeli occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip in the aftermath of the June 1967 war had very little to do with security and everything to do with territorial expansionism. The aim was to establish Greater Israel through permanent political, economic and military control over the Palestinian territories. And the result has been one of the most prolonged and brutal military occupations of modern times."-Avi Shlaim, from Israel and PalestineWith characteristic rigor and readability, Avi Shlaim reflects on a range of key issues, transformations and personalities in the Israel-Palestine conflict. From the 1917 Balfour Declaration to the failure of the Oslo peace process, from the 1948 War to the 2008 invasion of Gaza, Israel and Palestine places current events in their proper historical perspective. It assesses the impact of key political and intellectual figures, including Yasir Arafat and Ariel Sharon, Edward Said and Benny Morris; it also re-examines the United States’ influential role in the conflict, and explores the many missed opportunities for peace and progress in the region. Clear-eyed and meticulous, Israel and Palestine is an essential tool for understanding the fractured history and future prospects of Israel-Palestine.

LUKE 1 1-3 THIS is a personal book a personal report on my experience and impressions during more than two years as the first United States Ambassador to the new State of Israel. The opinionsexpressed are wholly mine no one else has any responsibility for them. I have tried to avoid thrashing out old straw from which so many writers have gleaned rich harvests. Thus I have re frained from retelling the stories of Israels heroic defense, its improvisation of Army, Navy and Air Force, the miracles of transforming deserts into orchards, the spectacular change of the physical face of the land, the beauty of mountain, valley and sea, the rise of communal settlements and of socialized industry. Only the highest literary artistry could advantage ously weave new variations on these well-known themes. I have discreetly avoided them. Whether I have been discreet and helpful in the dissemina tion of knowledge is for the reader to judge. Many who have occupied public office have written books. At what point such writers use of knowledge gained in official position constitutes an indiscretion, an impropriety or worse is often a moot ques tion. For my part I have included only such information as will, in my opinion, be of assistance to our government and people in their dealings with our many complex relations in the Middle East. In those frequent cases where our national interest could Xii MY MISSION IN ISRAEL not be injured, and where public understanding would be increas

Children of Israel Children of Palestine $3.98 Israeli Jews and Palestinians appear side by side for the first time in this remarkable book to share powerful feelings and reflections on growing up in one of the world’s longest and most dangerous conflicts. Here, thirty-six men and women, boys and girls, tell of their coming-of-age in a land of turmoil. From kibbutzim in Israel and the occupied territories to Palestinian refugee camps in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, from the Old City of Jerusalem to Ramallah to modern Tel Aviv, Israeli Jews and Palestinians tell of tragedy and transcendence as they face their deepest fears and dream of a peaceful future. Listen to them as they recount stories of their brief and often violent youth. Haifa-born Yehudit Hendel remembers Jews and Arabs living together without hatred, and her own deep childhood connection with an aging Arab man. Musil Jamil Jaffer (a pseudonym) writes of his devastating childhood in a refugee camp. Shammai Golan describes his own horrifying and painful encounter with death in the Israeli army. Basim Abdoraad tells what it feels like to be a man without a country as he searches for his Palestinian roots and finds he has no home to which he can return. No matter what their ethnic identity, how much and how long they have suffered, these courageous autobiographers most often reveal a deep longing for peace. Perhaps their hopes and fears are best illustrated by a parable retold by eighteen-year-old Redrose (a pseudonym): ""Two frogs got trapped in a jar of cream. They couldn’t jump out of the liquid and they couldn’t climb because the sides of the jar were slippery. One frog said, ‘By dawn I’ll be dead, ‘ and went to sleep. The second frog swam allnight long and in the morning found herself floating on a pat of butter.""

He describes the twelve day journey it took to sail across the Mediterranean Sea to Israel in an overly crowded 120 ton boat containing 150 volunteers on board. The central focus of his memoir deals with his experiences in the Israeli army and life in that country as a Ph.D. candidate in Geography at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem as well as his visits to the country in subsequent years.

Company C: An American’s Life as a Citizen-Soldier in Israel $3.98 A vivid dispatch from the front lines of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict When American-born Haim Watzman immigrated to Israel, he was drafted into the army and, after eighteen months of compulsory service, assigned to "Company C," the reserve infantry unit that would define the next twenty years of his life. From 1984 until 2002, for at least a month a year, Watzman, who had never aspired to military adventure, was a soldier. Watzman was a soldier as he adjusted to a new country, married, raised his children, and pursued a career as a writer and translator. At times he defended his adopted country’s borders; at other times he patrolled beyond them, or in that gray area, the occupied territories. A religiously observant Jew who opposed Israel’s presence in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, he served in uniform in conflicts that he demonstrated against in civilian clothes. Throughout, he developed a deep and abiding bond with the diverse men of Company C–a fellowship that cemented his commitment to reserve service even as he questioned the occupation he was enforcing. In this engrossing account of the first Intifada, the period of the Oslo Accords, and Israel’s reoccupation of the West Bank as lived by citizen-soldiers in the field, Watzman examines our obligations to country, friends, family, and God-and our duty to protect our institutions even as we fight to reform them.

Zion to King Solomon’s mines; Sasek presents the biblical glory of its past and the golden hope of its future.

Israel’s Reprisal Policy, 1953-1956: The Dynamics of Military Retaliation $202.98 Following Israel’s War of Independence in 1948-49, the anticipated peace did not materialize and the new nation soon found itself embroiled in protracted military conflict with neighboring Arab states. Demobilization of its armed forces led to the formation of special elite unit under the command of Ariel Sharon to cope with cross-border infiltration, pillage and murder. A policy of deterrence was governed by the tactic of retaliation, which contained the seeds of escalation. At the same time, a military dynamic unfolded in which the logic of field unit response dictated both military and political policy and caught the imagination of a demoralized and war-weary Israeli society. This book methodically examines the train of retaliatory actions conducted by the Israel Defense Forces, the clashing orientations among Israeli political leadership towards the deteriorating military situation, the impact of massive immigration upon the social military fabric, and the restructuring of the Israeli army within the conceptual confines of field unit reprisal actions. A connected narrative of these actions provides case study illumination of the theoretical premises of study, namely the determination of security policy from below and the interaction between agency and structure in a military setting. The myth of the Israeli paratroopers at the beginning of the 1950s, and their heroic deeds in the reprisal raids, embodied the new Zionist ethos for which the current Prime Minister of Israel, Ariel Sharon, claims much of the credit. The book thus provides historical insight into some of the most intractable developments of the current Arab-Israel conflict.

The Masada Myth: Collective Memory and Mythmaking in Israel $28.98 In 73 A.D., legend has it, 960 Jewish rebels under siege in the ancient desert fortress of Masada committed suicide rather than surrender to a Roman legion. Recorded in only one historical source, the story of Masada was obscure for centuries. In "The Masada Myth," Israeli sociologist Nachman Ben-Yehuda tracks the process by which Masada became an ideological symbol for the State of Israel, the dramatic subject of movies and miniseries, a shrine venerated by generations of Zionists and Israeli soldiers, and the most profitable tourist attraction in modern Israel. Ben-Yehuda describes how, after nearly 1800 years, the long, complex, and unsubstantiated narrative of Josephus Flavius was edited and augmented in the twentieth century to form a simple and powerful myth of heroism. He looks at the ways this new mythical narrative of Masada was created, promoted, and maintained by pre-state Jewish underground organizations, the Israeli army, archaeological teams, mass media, youth movements, textbooks, the tourist industry, and the arts. He discusses the various organizations and movements that created "the Masada experience" (usually a ritual trek through the Judean desert followed by a climb to the fortress and a dramatic reading of the Masada story), and how it changed over decades from a Zionist pilgrimage to a tourist destination. Placing the story in a larger historical, sociological, and psychological context, Ben-Yehuda draws upon theories of collective memory and mythmaking to analyze Masada’s crucial role in the nation-building process of modern Israel and the formation of a new Jewish identity. An expert on deviance and social control, Ben-Yehuda looks in particular at howand why a military failure and an enigmatic, troubling case of mass suicide (in conflict with Judaism’s teachings) were reconstructed and fabricated as a heroic tale.

Dark Hope: Working for Peace in Israel and Palestine $6.98 For decades, we’ve been shocked by images of violent clashes between Israelis and Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. But for all their power, those images leave us at a loss: from our vantage at home, it’s hard for us to imagine the struggles of those living in the midst of the fighting. Now, American-born Israeli David Shulman takes us right into the heart of the conflict with "Dark Hope," an eye-opening chronicle of his work as a member of the peace group Ta’ayush, which takes its name from the Arabic for "living together." Though Shulman never denies the complexity of the issues fueling the conflict–nor the culpability of people on both sides–he forcefully clarifies the injustices perpetrated by Israel by showing us the human dimension of the occupation. Here we meet Palestinians whose houses have been blown up by the Israeli army, shepherds whose sheep have been poisoned by settlers, farmers stripped of their land by Israel’s dividing wall. We watch as whip-swinging police on horseback attack crowds of nonviolent demonstrators, as Israeli settlers shoot innocent Palestinians harvesting olives, and as families and communities become utterly destroyed by the unrelenting violence of the occupation. Opposing such injustices, Shulman and his companions–Israeli and Palestinian both–doggedly work through checkpoints to bring aid, rebuild houses, and physically block the progress of the dividing wall. As they face off against police, soldiers, and hostile Israeli settlers, anger mixes with compassion, moments of kinship alternate with confrontation, and, throughout, Shulman wrestles with his duty to fight the cruelty enabled by "that dependable and devastating human failure to feel." With "Dark Hope," Shulman has written a book of deep moral searching, an attempt to discover how his beloved Israel went wrong–and how, through acts of compassionate disobedience, it might still be brought back.""

The Israeli Army in the Middle East Wars 1948-73 $13.48 Israel assumes in advance that defeat in war means an end to the Jewish nation, and it wages war accordingly. This fact influences the Israeli approach to its army and to the strategy, tactics, training and conduct of war. Surrounded by hostile nations, Israel has fought six victorious wars between 1948 and 1973. For a force which began as an irregular, impoverished and improvised group, this is a formidable record. Backed by plenty of photographs and eight full page colour plates, this fine text examines the six wars fought between 1948-73, including the extraordinary Israeli victory of 1967.

Army of Shadows: Palestinian Collaboration with Zionism, 1917-1948 $46.48 Inspired by stories he heard in the West Bank as a child, Hillel Cohen uncovers a hidden history in this extraordinary and beautifully written book–a history central to the narrative of the Israel-Palestine conflict but for the most part willfully ignored until now. In "Army of Shadows, "initially published in Israel to high acclaim and intense controversy, he tells the story of Arabs who, from the very beginning of the Arab-Israeli encounter, sided with the Zionists and aided them politically, economically, and in security matters. Based on newly declassified documents and research in Zionist, Arab, and British sources, "Army of Shadows "follows Bedouins who hosted Jewish neighbors, weapons dealers, pro-Zionist propagandists, and informers and local leaders who cooperated with the Zionists, and others to reveal an alternate history of the mandate period with repercussions extending to this day. The book illuminates the Palestinian nationalist movement, which branded these "collaborators" as traitors and persecuted them; the Zionist movement, which used them to undermine Palestinian society from within and betrayed them; and the collaborators themselves, who held an alternate view of Palestinian nationalism. "Army of Shadows "offers a crucial new view of history from below and raises profound questions about the roots of the Israel-Palestine conflict.

The Shift: Israel-Palestine from Border Struggle to Ethnic Conflict $34.98 Since 2000, the Isreali army has increased the size and strength of its operations in occupied territories. These activities, matched with an unprecedented rise in the construction of Jewish settlements, have irrevocably changed the relationship between Palestinians and Israelis. As Menachem Klein sees it, what was once a border conflict has now become an ethnic struggle, with Jewish Israel establishing an ethno-security regime that stretches from Jordan to the Mediterranean, facilitated and accelerated by the recent results of elections in Israel, the United States, and the territory controlled by the Palestinian Authority. In a bold challenge to those who claim Israel has done nothing more than pursue a framework of "occupation," Klein identifies a radical shift that has put ethnicity at the center of its security initiatives. Even Israeli citizens of Palestinian origin are at risk of becoming targets. Klein closely reads the legal and political apparatus now cocooning Israel’s shrinking Jewish majority. Within this system, Palestinians have been divided into several categories with different privileges: Israel’s Palestinian citizens; the residents of Jerusalem; the two groups that occupy the West Bank, separated by the Separation Barrier; and those who live under siege in the Gaza Strip. Grounding his work in primary sources and hard-to-find statistics, Klein completes a groundbreaking, unflinchingly study that portrays the realities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He ultimately argues that a single, nonethnic state is not the best solution. Instead he supports a two-state compromise, as difficult as it may be, since it is the only viable way to peace.

A Privilege to Die: Inside Hezbollah’s Legions and Their Endless War Against Israel $3.98 While Hamas and Al Qaeda are certainly dangerous to Israel and the West, Hezbollah and its millions of foot soldiers are "the "premier force in the Middle East. Veteran Middle East correspondent Thanassis Cambanis offers the first detailed look at the surprising cross section of people willing to die for Hezbollah and its uncompromising agenda to remake the map of the region and destroy Israel.Part standing army, part political party, and part theological movement, Hezbollah is made up not just of unemployed young men but also middle-class engineers, merchants, even nurses. Hezbollah’s widespread popularity rests on its ability to offer its followers economic reform, affordable health care, dependable electricity, efficient courts, and safe streets, as well as victory over Israel. Also unique to the party is its powerful doctrine of self-improvement, which challenges its members to fight ignorance, make money, and engage in safe sex. Millions of demoralized Middle Easterners have gravitated toward these principles, swelling the ranks of what is at heart a radical, militant group. They span economic class, include both fanatics and casual believers, and are sworn to the apocalyptic beliefs of the "Party of God." With its promise of perpetual war, Hezbollah has ushered in a militant renaissance and inspired fighters in Gaza, the West Bank, Egypt, Iraq, and beyond. Whatever their differences, their hatred of Israel and the United States binds them together. To understand Hezbollah is to understand the fighters and engineers, the women who raise the martyrs, the scouts who plant trees, and the nine-year-old girls who take the veil over the objections of their less militant fathers. Cambanis follows a few Hezbollah families through the ups and downs of the 2006 war with Israel and the continuing preparations for another conflict, letting us listen in to Hezbollah members’ intimate discussions at the kitchen table and on the battlefield. Cambanis’s reporting puts a human face on the Party of God, so we might understand the ideological and religious roots of today’s conflict. His riveting narrative provides an urgent and important exploration of militancy in the Middle East.Praise for "A PRIVILEGE TO DIE "

Israel’s Lightning Strike: The Raid on Entebbe 1976 $17.98 The Israeli Special Forces’ operation at Entebbe goes down in history as one of the most audacious counter-terrorist assaults ever conducted. On June 27, 1976, four terrorists (two of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and two of the German Baader-Meinhof terrorist group) highjacked a passenger jet and forced a landing in Entebbe, Uganda. Here they were met by reinforcements, and transferred all the Jewish and Israeli prisoners to the terminal building, with the exception of a few hostage releases. As Idi Amin’s assistance to the terrorists became increasingly clear, the Israeli government began preparations for a military assault. The element of surprise was crucial; never before had such a large-scale raid at such a long distance been successfully undertaken. This is the incredible story of how the Israeli Special Forces defied radar for over 2,000 miles, masqueraded as a tyrant in a Mercedes and captured uniforms, and defeated an army in brutal combat, culminating in a triumph of sheer audacity and nerve. A compelling book chronicling an incredible moment in history.

Israel’s History and the History of Israel $33.48 One of Italy’s foremost experts on antiquity addresses a new issue surrounding the birth of Israel and its historic reality. Many a tale has been told of ancient Israel, but all tales are alike in their quotation of the biblical story in its narrative scheme, despite its historic unreliability. This book completely rewrites the history of Israel through the evaluation of textual and literary critiques as well as archaeological and epigraphic findings. Conceived along the lines of modern historical methodology, it traces the textual material to the times of its creation, reconstructs the temporal evolution of political and religious ideologies, and firmly inserts the history of Israel into its ancient-oriental context.

The A to Z of Israel $41.48 Since its creation, the State of Israel has been a magnet for attention. A country beset by conflict in its region and faced with the need to integrate immigrants of disparate backgrounds into a modern and advanced state, Israel has preoccupied observers, scholars, and journalists since its independence in 1948. Israel and its politics have been the subject of substantial and often highly partisan literature, being hotly and vigorously debated both at home and abroad. The A to Z of Israel addresses the need in the literature on Israel for a comprehensive impartial information source about the various diplomatic and political personalities, institutions, organizations, events, concepts, and documents that together define the political life of the Jewish state. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on significant persons, places, events, government institutions, political parties, and battles, as well as entries on Israel’s economy, society, and culture.

The Story of Israel $30.48 Just over 100 years ago, Theodor Herzl launched the Zionist movement. Fifty years later, after the Holocaust, the State of Israel came into being, established so that Jews anywhere in the world could have a homeland. Yet in the years since, five wars have tested Israel’s ability to survive. Influxes of emigrants added to the country’s cultural riches yet strained its social fabric, even as Israel’s Arab neighbors sought to redress their own grievances through violence. Now Israel’s fascinating story is told by renowned historian Martin Gilbert, enhanced with 15 rare facsimile documents, some of which have never before been published.

In Defense of Israel $5.98 Why is the Middle East in such turmoil? Is the modern State of Israel in the plan of God? Can and should Christians do more than pray for Israel? Does God’s Word contain instructions to Christians regarding the treatment of Jewish people? In the near-thirty years John Hagee has been a lover of Israel, he has grappled with each of these questions. Like him, most Christians today don?t know much about the Jewish faith or the history of the Jewish nation. They don?t understand what is truly at stake in the Middle East conflict and why Christians need to do more than just pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They don?t know the role they?ve been called to play in relationship with Israel, and they aren?t sure how God feels about Israel today, either. As Hagee guides readers through the scriptures that explain why Christians need to stand with Israel and the Jews today with as much fervor as God does, they will encounter a man deeply passionate about loving this historic people of God. They?ll be inspired to take up that same mantle of love and play a part in extending acceptance and favor to the people of Israel, just as God has called them to do.

This narrative theology follows the biblical order of God’s creation of and interactions with the world and Israel. It tells the story of Israel’s gospel as a series of divine acts: God Began, God Started Over, God Promised, God Delivered, God Sealed, God Gave, God Accommodated, God Wrestled, God Preserved, God Sent and God Exalted. This is an Old Testament theology like no other. Whether applying magnifying or wide-angle lenses, Goldingay is closely attentive to the First Testament’s narrative, its plot, its motifs, its tensions and its subtleties. Brimming with insight and energy, and post-modern in its ethos, this book will repeatedly reward readers with fresh and challenging perspectives on God and God’s ways with Israel and the world–as well as Israel’s ways with God.”

Israel Potter $14.98 The authoritative edition of Melvilleas only historical novel Based on the life of an actual soldier who claimed to have fought at Bunker Hill, "Israel Potter" is unique among Herman Melvilleas books: a novel in the guise of a biography. In telling the story of Israel Potteras fall from Revolutionary War hero to peddler on the streets of London, where he obtained a livelihood by crying aOld Chairs to Mend, a Melville alternated between invented scenes and historical episodes, granting cameos to such famous men of the era as Benjamin Franklin (Potter may have been his secret courier) and John Paul Jones, and providing a portrait of the American Revolution as the rollicking adventure and violent series of events that it really was. This edition of "Israel Potter," which reproduces the definitive text, includes selections from Potteras autobiography, "Life and Remarkable Adventures of Israel R. Potter," the basis for Melvilleas novel.

Israel and the Bomb $104.48 Until now, there has been no detailed account of Israel’s nuclear history. Previous treatments of the subject relied heavily on rumors, leaks, and journalistic speculations. But with "Israel and the Bomb, " Avner Cohen has forged an interpretive political history that draws on thousands of American and Israeli government documents — most of them recently declassified and never before cited — and more than one hundred interviews with key individuals who played important roles in this story. Cohen reveals that Israel crossed the nuclear weapons threshold on the eve of the 1967 Six-Day War, yet it remains ambiguous about its nuclear capability to this day. What made this posture of "opacity" possible, and how did it evolve? Cohen focuses on a two-decade period from about 1950 until 1970, during which David Ben-Gurion’s vision of making Israel a nuclear-weapon state was realized. He weaves together the story of the formative years of Israel’s nuclear program, from the founding of the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission in 1952, to the alliance with France that gave Israel the sophisticated technology it needed, to the failure of American intelligence to identify the Dimona Project for what it was, to the negotiations between President Nixon and Prime Minister Meir that led to the current policy of secrecy. Cohen also analyzes the complex reasons Israel concealed its nuclear program — from concerns over Arab reaction and the negative effect of the debate at home to consideration of America’s commitment to nonproliferation. "Israel and the Bomb" highlights the key questions and the many potent issues surrounding Israel’s nuclear history. This book will be a critical resource for students of nuclear proliferation, Middle East politics, Israeli history, and American-Israeli relations, as well as a revelation for general readers.

To Be an Arab in Israel $8.48 "To Be an Arab in Israel" fills a long-neglected gap in the study of Israel and the contemporary Arab world. Whether for ideological reasons or otherwise, both Israeli and Arab writers have yet to seriously consider Israel’s significant minority of non-Jewish citizens, whose existence challenges common assumptions regarding Israel’s exclusively Jewish character. Arabs have been a presence at all levels of the Israeli government since the foundation of the state. Laurence LouAr begins her history in the 1980s when the Israeli political system began to take the Arab nationalist parties into account for the political negotiations over coalition building. Political parties-especially Labour-sought the votes of Arab citizens by making unusual promises such as ownership and access to land. The continuing rise of nationalist sentiments among Palestinians, however, threw the relationship between the Jewish state and the Arab minority into chaos. But as LouAr demonstrates, "Palestinization" did not prompt the Arab citizens of Israel to set aside their Israeli citizenship. Rather, Israel’s Arabs have sought to insert themselves into Israeli society while simultaneously celebrating their difference, and these efforts have led to a confrontation between two conceptions of society and two visions of Israel. LouAr’s fascinating book embraces the complexity of this history, revealing the surprising collusions and compromises that have led to alliances between Arab nationalists and Israeli authorities. She also addresses the current role of Israel’s Arab elites, who have been educated at Hebrew-speaking universities, and the continuing absorption of militant Islamists into Israel’s bureaucracy. "To Be an Arab in Israel" is a discerning treatment of an enigmatic, little known, but nevertheless highly influential people. Their effect on the balance of power in the Middle East seems destined to grow in the twenty-first century.

Defending Israel $4.99 Israel is a tiny country. From tip to toe, it stretches 260 miles long but is only 60 miles at its widest point. Since the days of the British mandate, the question of “defensible borders” for the Jewish state has always been problematic. Yet considering the larger picture of what has happened in the Middle East over the last 25 years – the peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan, the weakening of Syria as a result of the collapse of the USSR, the smashing of Iraq by the U.S – Israel is, militarily speaking, stronger than ever before. The greatest remaining threats are terrorism and guerilla warfare; and those, this book argues, are best dealt with territorial concessions. This is a compact, incisive study that is certain to draw attention.

Israel’s Faith $41.98 Old Testament Theology: Israel’s Faith is the second of John Goldingay’s magisterial three-volume Old Testament Theology. The award-winning first volume, Old Testament Theology: Israel’s Gospel, followed the story line of the First Testament, developing its narrative theology. This volume finds its point of departure in the Prophets, Psalms and Wisdom literature, where we encounter a more discursive thinking that is closer to traditional theology.Whereas the first volume followed the epochal divine acts of Israel’s "gospel" narrative, here Goldingay sets out the faith of Israel under the major rubrics ofGodIsraelThe NightmareThe VisionThe WorldThe NationsHumanityIn a style that cleaves closely to the text, Goldingay offers up a masterful exposition of the faith of the First Testament, one born of living long with the text and the refined skill of asking interesting questions and listening with trained attention. Never one to sacrifice a close hearing of a text for an easy generality, or to mute a discordant note for the sake of reassuring harmony, Goldingay gives us an Old Testament theology shot through with the edge-of-the-seat vitality of discovery.The first volume of Old Testament Theology has triggered lively discussion in the academy. This volume too will be welcomed and discussed by scholars. But its fresh presentations of theological motifs, as well as its engagement with contemporary contexts, will also greatly enrich the treasury of insights this series makes available to preachers and communicators of the Old Testament.

Will Israel Survive? $17.48 Since it first declared independence six decades ago, Israel has endured constant threats to its existence. Though the Palestinian conflict continues to hold the world’s attention, it is in fact only one of the nation’s long-term concerns.

In the face of these many challenges, the country’s future can seem precarious indeed.

Prophet of Israel $32.98 As the Iron Age dawns in Palestine, darkness threatens to consume the nation of Israel. The visionaries who had once guided the people are gone. High Priest Eli allows corruption to infect even the Tabernacle, the holiest place in the land, home of the Eternal Flame and the sacred Ark of the Covenant. Hordes of Philistines ravage the countryside, led by a merciless warlord and bolstered by the might of a race of giants. As the legendary warriors of the children of Abraham challenge their enemies in sprawling battlefields, fortified cities, and dark forests, the key to their survival waits, ignorant of his destiny, in the Tabernacle. A child. A Seer. A Prophet of Israel.

Making Israel $25.98 Benny Morris is the founding father of the New Historians, a group of Israeli scholars who have challenged long-established perceptions about the origins of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Their research rigorously documented crimes and atrocities committed by the Israeli armed forces, including rape, torture, and ethnic cleansing. With "Making Israel," Morris brings together the first collection of translated articles on the New History by leading Zionist and revisionist Israeli historians, providing Americans with a firsthand view of this important debate and enabling a better understanding of how the New Historians have influenced Israelis’ awareness of their own past. "The study of Israeli history, society, politics, and economics over the past two decades has been marked by a fierce and sometimes highly personal debate between ‘traditionalists’—scholars who generally interpreted Israeli history and society within the Zionist ethos—and ‘revisionists’—scholars who challenged conventional Zionist narratives of Israeli history and society. "Making Israel" brings together traditionalists and revisionists who openly and directly lay out their key insights about Israel’s origins. It also introduces multidisciplinary perspectives on Israel by historians and sociologists, each bringing into the debate its own jargon, its own epistemology and methodology, and its own array of substantive issues. This is essential reading for anybody who wants to understand the different interpretations of Israeli society and perhaps the central debate among students of modern Israel." —Zeev Maoz, Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Davis, and Distinguished Fellow at the Interdisciplinary Center, Herzliya "Israel’s ‘new historians’ have done a great service to their country, and to all who care about the Arab-Israeli conflict. By challenging myths, reexamining evidence, and asking truly important questions about the past they help to confront the present with honesty and realism. This book provides a sampling of the best of what these courageous voices have to offer." —William B. Quandt, University of Virginia Benny Morris is Professor of Middle East history at Ben-Gurion University in Beersheba, Israel, and is the author of "Righteous Victims: A History of the Zionist-Arab Conflict, 1881-1999."

These promises are to be fulfilled through the heirs of Isaac, Jacob (renamed Israel) and Joseph. Today’s Israel is but one nation; and only 13+ million Jews are alive in the world today. “Israel: Where’s Joseph” traces the Abrahamic Covenant and history of Israel from the Bible’s Old Testament. It establishes a vast, hidden “Israel” exists in the descendants of Joseph that is both non-Jewish and non-Arab. According to Ezekiel 37:15-22, the multitudes of Joseph are to be rejoined with their Jewish brethren to become one nation again in Israel on land now proposed as a Palestinian state.”

Israel Land $31.98 Israel Land is one American woman’s adventure living in the Holy Land for a year with her family after the Second Lebanon War. In Israel, she discovered a great deal about being a mother, a wife and a woman–all three roles accented by leaving her comfort zone. She experienced this unique country–its people, its sites and its culture; she witnessed the domestic and international politics of an adolescent nation existing in a hostile neighborhood; and she explored the curious nature of ancient and modern civilization co-existing, the supposed Jewish and Arab enemies peacefully dwelling in the same country and she watched the parallel stories of her adolescent children and this young nation unfold. She found solace at the sea; she ate a little too much humus; and searched for solutions to lasting peace. Throughout it all, she practiced tolerance and kept humor in the forefront of her journey.

The God of Israel $148.98 In the ancient Near East the God of Israel stands unique; he is the central character of the Old Testament. The collection of essays in this volume presents the historical background against which belief in him developed and discusses aspects of the topic that remain unresolved or largely unaddressed. What was he like? How does he differ from other gods of the ancient world? And what difference does the worship of this god make, both in the world of the Bible and now? The papers presented contribute to the continuing discussion about the God of Israel and other deities in the ancient Near East, and the emergence of monotheistic belief and worship. A multifaceted approach is adopted in which comparative, theological, historical, literary-critical, cultural, narratological, canonical, exegetical and ethical issues feature prominently.

Recognizing the Real Enemy: Accurately Discerning the Army of Darkness $20.48 Most believers know that the Bible says ..". for we wrestle not against flesh and blood…" But, if we say that "we know this," then why are there so many believers, made of flesh and blood, blaming, resenting and fighting one another? Maybe it’s because we are not realizing enough that those negative " thoughts and feelings" do not come "just from us..".but from living beings that are unseen. We are not realizing enough that unholy thoughts, feelings, desires and reasons did not originate "from us" or from what is said to be "our sinful nature..".just as holiness does not originate "from us." If our holi-ness comes from the HolySpirit, would our un-holiness not also come from un-holyspirits? I submit that we do not understand enough " the sin that dwells in the flesh." It is alive, and does what we do not want to do… unless we recognize the real, spiritualenemies behind "the flesh." Miguel Demelli is a Spirit-filled believer who also embraces the Hebraic roots of the Messiah and the Whole House of Israel (Ezekie 37:15-28). He’s been searching for the "keys to victory" for 15 years. And just when he thought he was defeated forever, these simple truths were clarified to him and transformed his walk…forever. His desire is to see true unity and victory in the Body. But, as he found out for himself, this cannot happen as long as there is so much hidden, unrecognized enemy activity in and through us operating against ourselves and then against one another, resulting in much strife and even diseases. He presently splits his time as a translator in his local congregation, as Spanish Outreach Coordinator/Translator for the Messianic Israel Alliance in the US and Mexico, as an associate with wholeness ministries and with other personal ministry and translation opportunities. He currently resides in Orlando, Florida. Cover Illustration by Rosemary Burke 2009

O Israel! $14.99 “A mysterious email from terrorist cells generates an unprecedented attack on Tel Aviv. During the attack, an inexplicable revelation comes to IDF Major Barak Goetz. Israels response triggers a riveting sequence of events that will shake the world and shape the destiny of those desperate for answers, and of those who do not care for answers. Was the earth cleansed or was prophecy fulfilled? Follow Barak as he struggles to make sense of it all; to find identity with his Palestinian boyhood friend, Khalid and for the true source of peace between Jew and Arab. Walk along side of Netanya Bernis, a Jewish immigration specialist, whose love for Israel and Barak is exceeded only by her desire to find the Messiah. Accompany Andrew Stallings, a wealthy American businessman, who searches daringly for the truth, despite opposition from the lawless one. Observe the Jewish scribe, Avram Levitt, with his intense passion for Israels restoration and redemption; for reconciliation of all who will heed the signs and warnings of the New Age. The main theme of the novel is that of Israels redemption, but not only Israel. As addressed by the character, Avram Levitts emails, it is for All who have eyes to see and ears to hear. In the fictional genre of the Left Behind series by Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye, the thematic points in this novel precede, include and follow the transfiguration translation (Rapture) of the body of Christ. What might trigger the Rapture? Could it be a horrific bioterrorism attack on Israel and a massive Israeli retaliation, followed by world military mobilization against Israel? Were the missing people taken? If so, how and by whom? How does the Rapture change the lives of those left behind and what might cause them to look for answers? Is there an answer?”

Israel Of God $13 “Is the modern state of Israel the fulfillment of ancient prophecy? Are Jewish people saved by virtue of being God’s chosen people? These important questions affect our theology, evangelism, missions-even our politics. Palmer Robertson carefully and clearly takes us to the Bible to answer these and other questions. His masterful exegesis of Hebrews 7 and Romans 11 alone are worth the price of this book”

Letter to Israel $16.99 “This astonishing numbering breakthrough by R. Dean Hubbard reveals the mystery of today’s events and shows the progression of God’s work upon the earth. Using this unique numbering system, Hubbard shows how the timing of Hitler’s rise to prominence, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and key developments in the Middle East all tie into God’s agenda for the Jewish people and the land of Israel. He warns readers that what they learn about numbering is not used to predict the return of the Lord.”

Israel on the Appomattox: A Southern Experiment in Black Freedom from the 1790s Through the Civil War $3.98 Thomas Jefferson condemned slavery but denied that whites and liberated blacks could live together in harmony. Jefferson’ s young cousin Richard Randolph and ninety African Americans set out to prove the sage of Monticello wrong. When Randolph died in 1796, he left land for his formidable bondman Hercules White and for dozens of other slaves. Freed, they could build new lives there alongside white neighbors and other blacks who had gained their liberty earlier. Fittingly, the Randolph freedpeople called their promised land Israel Hill. These black Israelites and other free African Americans established farms, plied skilled trades, and navigated the Appomattox River in freight-carrying " batteaux." Hercules White’ s son Sam and other free blacks bought and sold boats, land, and buildings, and they won the respect of whites. Melvin Patrick Ely captures a series of remarkable personal and public dramas: free black and white people do business with one another, sue each other, work side by side for equal wages, join forces to found a Baptist congregation, move West together, and occasionally settle down as man and wife. Even still-enslaved blacks who face charges of raping or killing whites sometimes find ardent white defenders. Yet slavery’ s long shadow darkens this landscape in unpredictable ways. After Nat Turner’ s slave revolt, county officials confiscate and auction off free blacks’ weapons- and then vote to give the proceeds to the blacks themselves. One black Israelite marries an enslaved woman and watches, powerless, as a white master carries three of their children off to Missouri; a free black miller has to bid for hisown wife at a public auction. Proslavery hawks falsely depict Israel Hill to the nation as a degenerate place whose supposed failure proves blacks are unfit for freedom. The Confederate Army compels free black men to build fortifications far from home, until Lee finally surrenders to Grant a few miles from Israel Hill. Ely tells a moving story of hope and hardship, of black pride and achievement. He shows us an Old South we hardly know, where ties of culture, faith, affection, and economic interest crossed racial barriers- a society in which, ironically, many whites felt secure enough to deal fairly and even cordially with free African Americans partly because slavery still held most blacks firmly in its grip.

Unsettled: The Problem of Loving Israel $3.98 Israel. The word itself can mean "arguing with God," and talking about Israel can start endless arguments about politics, history, morality, and prejudice. Unsettled, Marc Aronson’s most deeply personal book to date, explores the history of Israel, from the beginning of the Zionist movement to the birth of Israel as a state in 1948 to the intense confA licts over Israel, the Palestinians, and the Jewish settlements of today. Along the way Aronson intersperses stories from his own family’s long experiences in Israel while asking and answering such questions as: Can a religious state also be a democratic one? Is Israel the victim or the aggressor? Do modern states have moral obligations? And perhaps the most troubling question of all: What kind of Israel should exist? Once again, Aronson has created history for young adults that is exciting, probing, clear, and most of all, fearless.

Israel Reclaiming the Narrative $22.98 Why is this book different from all other books about Israel? All other books tend to defend Israel. ISRAEL RECLAIMING THE NARRATIVE goes on the attack. Why should my country apologize for fighting for its right to exist? ISRAEL RECLAIMING THE NARRATIVE prosecutes Israel’s enemies and defamers by exposing their hypocrisy and lies. From boycotters to replacement theologists, the media, leading politicians, a misguided public and, centrally, the Palestinians, are all are subject to scrutiny and found guilty of slander, violence, and abuse of the Jewish nation. The author takes you on a personal journey that allows you to feel the forces and emotions that affect the average Israeli. ISRAEL RECLAIMING THE NARRATIVE calls famous witnesses, past and present, to illustrate the damage that Israel’s enemies are inflicting not only on Israel but also on the core values of democratic societies.

Jacob-Israel $14.99 “Jacob-Israel God’s Man Of Faith And Power Loved by God and chosen while still in the womb, Jacob was born reaching out to claim the high calling of God on his life. His role in the Plan of Redemption was to father the nation through whom God would speak to a lost creation. It is time someone spoke a good word for Jacob-Israel, whose descendants changed the world This book offers a refreshingly different view of this spiritual forefather of our faith. Over-emphasis on his morals has largely obscured his faith in God’s promises which made him a channel of blessing to all people. Believers in every age who are used by God to further His Plan are, like Jacob, often misunderstood. An examination of his heart and motives explores the reasons why God’s chosen instruments often suffer. Do we always reap what we sow? Are life’s trials always the result of our personal sins? An avid Bible student from early youth, Frances developed a lifelong love of God’s Word which has inspired her to write this book about her favorite Bible character. Frances lives in Springdale, AR near her 2 grown daughters; she also has a son in Houston.”

Tabernacle Of Israel $11.99 “Written by the famous developer of Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance, this thorough, illustrated exposition is a classic work on the Tabernacle. What was the Tabernacle of Israel really like? What significance does it hold for Christians today? What can be discovered in the Ark and its cherubic figures? A detailed examination of the Tabernacle, this book explores its intricacies-a central part of Jewish life in the Old Testament. After a brief history, James Strong explains the various parts of the construction with all its accessories and their relationship. He concludes with an explanation of the aesthetic analogies and spiritual symbols that this elaborate and elegant structure portrays. *A comprehensive guide to the Tabernacle *Contains thirty-nine original drawings”

The Children of Israel $29 “In The Children of Israel, Danna Nolan Fewell explores how imaginative readings of selected scriptural texts might raise adult consciousness and responsibility toward children. Through stories, quotes, vignettes, and notes, Fewell provides different kinds of reading experiences, with different levels of coherence and disjunction, depending how much the reader decides to delve into the critical apparatus or the framing dialogues. This work is designed to unsettle, to plant suggestions and questions, to create space for reflection and conversation. It is an experiment to see if a postmodern reading of the Bible can provide a credible ethical vision that can inspire us to do a better job of caring for our children.”

Redeemed Israel: Reunited and Restored $14.95 “Your destiny in Messiah Yeshua is forever linked to Israel. He preached the gospel of its kingdom. His disciples spoke of the restoration of David’s fallen house, which includes all who sojourn with Israel. Only when we understand about “both the houses of Israel” (Isa 8:14) can we truly understand our Redeemer’s mission. Only when we know Him can we know who Israel really is; for He is salvation ? Yeshua ? the epitome of all that it means to be “Israel.” The liberating truths found in this book are breathing new life into Israel’s two houses. Many are seeing Judah and Ephraim in Scripture, as well as Israel’s coming reunion and restoration. They are catching glimpses of her coming glory. This solidly scriptural book clarifies the truth about Israel and the Church, explains the mystery of the “fullness of the Gentiles,” and reveals the Father’s ultimate plan for all Israel. If you feel drawn to your Hebraic roots, want to celebrate the feasts of Israel, and understand “Israel,” this inspiring book is for you. It will enrich your faith. It is helping both Jewish and non-Jewish Believers, Judah and Ephraim, to return to the ancient faith of their forefathers.”

Feasts of Israel: $12.48 When the Lord brought Israel out of "the house of bondage," He gave them the complete order of approach to His Presence. In this context, author Kevin Conner provides an in-depth study of the "Feasts of the Lord" and the many allusions and references to it in the New Testament. It is the author’s desire that all those who read on these truths will experience the blessing of Psalm 89: 15 – "Blessed, happy, fortunate, are the people who know the joyful sound, who understand and appreciate the spiritual blessings symbolized by the Feasts: they walk, O Lord, in the light and favour of Thy countenance." (Amplified)

Solomon SHABUOTH The Essence of Judaism Abraham E Abramowitz The Chosen People C. E. Hillel Kauvar The Jew and Idealism Felix A. Levy PREFACE TN presenting this volume to the attention of the spir- itual and lay leadership of all denominations, it is the hope of the editor and compiler that it will be generally regarded as more than a merecollection of sermons and religious essays. Religiously, American Jewry is divided into three distinct camps ORTHODOX, CONSERVATIVE, and REFORM, and so tautly drawn are the differences in the minds of the adherents of the respective shades of belief that too frequently have animosities, bickerings and misunderstandings flared forth. And oddly enough, in the majority of cases the most militant protagonists have been woefully ignorant of the essential differences. Nor is it any great consolation to point out that all mistaken notions to the contrary notwithstanding, the Christian religious world is even more hopelessly di vided, there being over two hundred Christian varie ties in the United States alone at the present time. For, as Professor Conrad Henry Moehlman in his excellent book, Christian and Jew, points out, The real issue in the Western world today is not whether Catholic ism, Protestantism, or Judaism will survive, but whether religion will prosper. In Russia, Germany, Spain, Mexico everywhere the foes of religion are gathering their forces to stamp out a belief in God. How essential, therefore, is it that Judaism which gave the concept of God to man, shall present a united front in its stand against this on slaught In the face of innumerable discrimination

Hope of Israel $18.98 In 1290, King Edward I expelled the Jews from England. In 1656, a small community of Spanish Catholic merchants lived in London bound by a sacred secret. They were all Portuguese Jews. This is the story of one of them, Domingo de Lacerda, who learns early on that survival in seventeenth-century Europe requires both deceit and conformity. But then he meets Lucy, who has secrets of her own and who challenges Domingo to question everything he has been taught to value. The political and spiritual conflicts that characterized the Iberian Inquisition, the English Civil War, and the English Interregnum provide a backdrop against which Domingo must choose between his obligation to the Jewish community that protects him and the Catholic woman who loves him.Patricia O’Sullivan is the author of Hope of Israel and the forthcoming, Legend of the Dead. She lives in Mississippi with her family.

Drusen in Israel $22.98 Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Orientalistik / Sinologie – Sonstiges, einseitig bedruckt, Note: 1,3, Universit t Leipzig (Orientalisches Institut), Veranstaltung: Islamische H resien, 23 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Drusen in Israel: Sie sprechen Arabisch, ihr Glaube ist geheim und der Dienst in der israelischen Armee ist f r sie obligatorisch. Obwohl sie viele kulturelle Gemeinsamkeiten mit den Pal s tinensern haben, sehen sie sich prim r als Teil der israelischen Nation. Mit einer Politik des ‘divide et impera’ erwirbt der israelische Staat von den Drusen Loyalit t, indem er ihnen Autonomie und kulturelle Identit t erm glicht.Durch gemeinsame Interessen der drusi schen Eliten und der israelischen Verwaltung wird eine eigens drusische Identit t konstruiert. Die Arbeit analysiert Mechanismen auf politischer, rechtlicher und kultureller Ebene sowie die Funktion des Milit rdiensts, die zur Konstruktion jener drusischen Identit t beitragen. Insbesondere wird auf die Re-Konstruktion des Heiligenschreins von Shu’aib eingegangen, die zeigt, wie gemeinsame Geschichte neu erfunden" und instrumentalisiert wird.
