Endorsements:""This book is about these peacemakers who are light in the darkness and the salt and hope of Christ within despair. They are the living testimony that the reign of the Prince of Peace has begun! Although powerless and marginalized, their witness is an astonishing departure from all forms of missionary triumphalism. They humbly carry forward the mission of Jesus, who in his resurrection proclaimed, As the Father has sent me, so send I you! For all Christians who love Israel, for all who have compassion for the Palestinians, for all who are concerned for the all nations of the Great Commission, this book is must reading!""--David W. Shenk, Global Consultant, Eastern Mennonite Missions""With the Bible in our hand and a newspaper in the other it is easy for armchair preachers and teachers to pontificate as to how Christians should position themselves as they view the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, but it is something far different to become existentially involved in that situation as a missionary. Andrew Bush and his wife have done the latter, and in this book he not only tells of their experiences, but utilizing biblical studies and theologically based ethics helps the rest of us who seek justice for both Jews and Palestinians to define what we should propagate and do to live out the mandate to be agents of reconciliation.""--Tony Campolo, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, Eastern University
