Meet Me At the Olive Tree

This book has arisen from a regular slot on Premier Radio called The Olive Tree, where Julia Fisher interviews a person or couple from the Holy Land, Arab or Jew, who are actively engaged in reconciliation. Some powerful stories have emerged. The basic theme of the book is that, despite all the dire reports, the Christian church in Israel and the areas of Palestine is growing amongst both Arab and Jewish communities. As this happens, Arabs and Jews are meeting, becoming friends, working together.

The author envisages about 10 stories.Read less
