"I really enjoyed reading this book and it gave me a totally different perspective on the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. I did a study abroad over in Israel and could picture in my mind many of the places he described in the book."
"This is very interesting and disturbing. It is a true story about a Palestinian christian boy growing up in Israel during the late 40's when the world went in and decided to kick out the Palestininas and give most everything to the Jews. It makes you rethink the jew vs palestinian conflict, or at least see the other side."
I think Elias is an incredible person-I would enjoy meeting him and talking about the process of becoming the man he has become. I was touched by how the Beatitudes shaped his thoughts and life.
I liked how he was honest with his internal battles and yet was able through Christ to use them in powerful ways. He never seemed to suppress or deny what he was feeling inside and allow it to turn bitter. Somehow he was able to embrace his thoughts and feelings that seemed shameful to him. I liked how he was able to turn them into constructive, clever, helpful, and meaningful efforts. I really believe he was given a unique gift to understand the teachings of Christ in a way that allowed him to be like Christ.
Elias' approach, his resolve, his trust..... gives me hope that by beginning small and being patient anything is possible. I truly believe anyone and everyone can make a very lasting impact for good.
This book also gave me a better perspective of the Isreal-Palistine history and conflict. I think it helped me become a little more Christ-like by reminding me and helping me to understand both sides of the story. I sadly admit, I have always had unfair bias towards one group and never stopped to think of them as individuals and a people who, like the rest of us strive for security and peace in our lives."
