A powerful, hopeful, and deeply realistic look at the demands and rewards of transforming the "other" into a neighbour and an enemy into a friend.
From wars and ethnic strife to religious tensions and cultural misunderstandings, conflict is an ongoing reality in our world. Yet complacency and acceptance are not options for Christians called to forgiveness, transformation, and the holy work of loving our neighbours. Rather, we must choose the radical, demanding, and difficult work of reconciliation.
Journey through the Storm unpacks Musalaha's thirty years of practical experience building bridges, healing division, and following Christ in the context of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. An inspiring read offering insight into the theory, theology, and application of Musalaha's six stages of reconciliation through a collection of essays, curriculum excerpts, interviews, and real-life testimonies.
'The stages of reconciliation addressed in the book have been profoundly transformative in my life. From the initial exhilaration of finding brothers and sisters from "the other side," to the frustration and despair of confronting disparate narratives, the experience has been deepening and enriching, while providing a healthy dose of humility. Moreover, I have found a treasure of friends and confidants with whom I share the challenges of living within the tension of "both/and" rather than "either/or." I will go so far as to say that this journey may provide hope for our shared futures. This book is highly recommended.'
