World leaders trumpet their efforts to bring peace there, but peace never seems to come. Americans, Japanese, British, and Germans, who were at war sixty-five years ago, work together today routinely and calmly; but when Israelis and Palestinian Arabs cooperate in any way, hardly anyone can believe it. The Middle East is the perennial hot spot. The conflict runs deep. Jews and Arabs have been at odds pretty much since Ishmael’s dad kicked him and his mom out of the house, and that’s been four thousand years. So far. First it was clubs, then bronze weapons, then iron, then steel, then TNT, and now the threat of nuclear warfare. Who are the good guys? Who are the bad? And when will it all end? Christians have a natural interest in the Middle East, even beyond the drama that plays out there every day. God chose to reveal Himself directly and uniquely in this corner of the globe, and our spiritual roots sink deep into its desert soil. But Christians are not agreed on the meaning of what’s happening there today or on what should be done about it—or can be done about it. continued on page 2 continued on page 10 In This Issue On Becoming Real by Esther Wilkison page 4 Emotions Are Not the Enemy by Ron Horton page 6 Geography: Passport to Life by Rebecca Kenney page 8 http://www.bjupress.com/ http://www.bjupress.com/product/250720 http://www.bjupress.com/product/231696 http://www.bjupress.com/product/244723 http://www.bjupress.com/product/231712 http://www.bjupress.com/product/231688
