About this listen
As a child, Elias Chacour lived in a small Palestinian village in Galilee. When tens of thousands of Palestinians were killed and nearly one million forced into refugee camps in 1948, Elias began a long struggle with how to respond. In Blood Brothers, he blends his riveting life story with historical research to reveal a little-known side of the Arab-Israeli conflict, touching on questions such as:
- What behind-the-scenes politics touched off the turmoil in the Middle East?
- What does Bible prophecy really have to say?
- Can bitter enemies ever be reconciled?
Now updated with commentary on the current state of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as well as a new foreword by Lynne Hybels and Gabe Lyons, Blood Brothers offers hope and insight that can help each of us learn to live at peace in a world of tension and terror.

Story
In 1985 southern Sudan is ravaged by war. Rebels and government forces battle for control, with ordinary people…people like the boy, Salva Dut…caught in the middle. When Salva's village is attacked, he must embark on a harrowing journey that will propel him through horror and heartbreak, across a harsh desert, and into a strange new life. Years later, in contemporary South Sudan, a girl named Nya must walk eight hours a day to fetch water. The walk is grueling, but there is unexpected hope.

Story
In 1967, not long after the Six-Day War, three young Arab men ventured into the town of Ramle, in what is now Jewish Israel. They were cousins, on a pilgrimage to see their childhood homes; their families had been driven out of Palestine nearly 20 years earlier. One cousin had a door slammed in his face, and another found his old house had been converted into a school. But the third, Bashir Al-Khairi, was met at the door by a young woman called Dalia, who invited them in.

Story
Jerusalem is the universal city, the capital of two peoples, the shrine of three faiths; it is the prize of empires, the site of Judgement Day and the battlefield of today’s clash of civilizations. From King David to Barack Obama, from the birth of Judaism, Christianity and Islam to the Israel-Palestine conflict, this is the epic history of three thousand years of faith, slaughter, fanaticism and coexistence. This is how Jerusalem became Jerusalem, and the only city that exists twice - in heaven and on earth.

Story
For 11-year-old Gopal and his family, life in their rural Indian village is over: We stay, we starve, his baba has warned. With the darkness of night as cover, they flee to the big city of Mumbai in hopes of finding work and a brighter future. Gopal is eager to help support his struggling family until school starts, so when a stranger approaches him with the promise of a factory job, he jumps at the offer. But Gopal has been deceived. There is no factory, just a small, stuffy sweatshop where he and five other boys are forced to make beaded frames for no money and little food.

As Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Europe, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside. One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor and author. In this New York Times bestselling biography, Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life—the theologian and the spy—and draws them together to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil.

Story
Once upon a time there was a version of our faith that was practically...irresistible. But that was then. Today we preach, teach, write, and communicate as if nothing has changed. As if “The Bible says it” still settles it. It’s time to hit pause on much of what we’re doing and consider the faith modeled by our first-century brothers and sisters who had no official Bible, no status, and humanly speaking, little chance of survival. What did they know that we don’t? What made their faith so compelling, so defensible, so irresistible? Buckle up...you’re about to find out.

Is it really possible to love one's enemies? That's the question that sparked a fascinating and, at times, terrifying journey into the heart of the Middle East during the summer of 2008. It was a trip that began in Egypt, passed beneath the steel-and-glass high-rises of Saudi Arabia, then wound through the bullet-pocked alleyways of Beirut and dusty streets of Damascus, before ending at the cradle of the world's three major religions: Jerusalem.

In 2011, Marwan Hisham and his two friends - fellow working-class college students Nael and Tareq - joined the first protests of the Arab Spring in Syria, in response to a recent massacre. Arm in arm they marched, poured Coca-Cola into one another’s eyes to blunt the effects of tear gas, ran from the security forces, and cursed the country’s president, Bashar al-Assad. It was ecstasy. A long-bottled revolution was finally erupting, and freedom from a brutal dictator seemed, at last, imminent.

Story
Remember Us is a look back at the lost world of the shtetl: a wise Zayde offering prophetic and profound words to his grandson, the rich experience of Shabbos, and the treasure of a loving family. All this is torn apart with the arrival of the Holocaust, beginning a crucible fraught with twists and turns so unpredictable and surprising that they defy any attempt to find reason within them. Through the eyes of 91-year-old Holocaust survivor Martin Small, we learn that these priceless memories that are too painful to remember are also too painful to forget.

The time has come, argues Dr. Wess Stafford, for a major paradigm shift: Children are too important and too intensely loved by God to be left behind or left to chance. Children belong to all of us and we are compelled to intervene on their behalf. We must invest in children, all across the world.

Story
Halima Bashir was born into the Zaghawa tribe, whose customs have remained unchanged for centuries, in the remote western deserts of Sudan in the region of South Darfur. Halima's father named his daughter after the traditional medicine woman of the village, and she grew up in a happy and close-knit childhood environment. Her father became a wealthy man by his tribe's standards, so he could afford to send Halima to school and university. Halima went on to study medicine, and at 24 she returned to her tribe and began practicing as their first ever qualified doctor.

Story
Lazarus occupies a surprising position in the Gospel accounts. Widely known as the man Jesus raised from the dead, his story is actually much broader and richer than that. Living as he did at Bethany, near Jerusalem, Lazarus was uniquely placed to witness the swirl of events around Jesus. When Jesus Wept, the first novel in The Jerusalem Chronicles series by best-selling authors Bodie and Brock Thoene, unfolds the turbulent times in Judea during Jesus' ministry, centering on the friendship between Jesus and Lazarus.

Story
Abdel Latif, an old man from the Aleppo region, dies peacefully in a hospital bed in Damascus. His final wish, conveyed to his youngest son, Bolbol, is to be buried in the family plot in their ancestral village of Anabiya. Though Abdel was hardly an ideal father, and though Bolbol is estranged from his siblings, this conscientious son persuades his older brother Hussein and his sister Fatima to accompany him and the body to Anabiya, which is - after all - only a two-hour drive from Damascus. There's only one problem: Their country is a war zone.

His love for both sides of the conflict. His unwavering faith.
Elias’ story is well written. It gives a rounded perspective on the on going conflict starting at 1947. It’s a book everyone should read and learn from.

An important and inspiring book!
Blood Brothers is the real-life story of a man of peace who follows the teaching of Jesus rather than descending into hate. Just read it. It does a body good. And a spirit, too!

Heartbreaking and eye opening
This book did more to educate me on the Palestinian Israeli conflict than years of media propaganda. I am heartbroken over how the true victims are innocent civilians and children. I hope Elias’ message of peace reaches more people and the violence comes to an end.

It is good to see true peace makers still exist
Knowing quite a few people of all 3 abrahamic faiths, i have often been shocked at how judgemental and hateful we all are towards each other on the basis of faith. How people who are generally good and kind can be absolute unthinking hateful beasts towards another person just because they're a different faith. If you confront them, if you force them to see the other as human, their resolve only crumbles a little! They'll say "oh but that's because X is different", and continue to otherize, dehumanize and hate everyone else without ever understanding the stupidity of their argument. Everywhere i look people use faith to excuse bigotry, xenophobia, discrimination, torture, murder, destruction of culture, genocide and a host of other such lovely human inventions. Especially for my own faith, it always seems incredible to me that anyone can be so full of hate and yet claim to follow the teachings of Jesus (with a straight face no less) and think themselves a righteous person and even think they'd be going to heaven! It made me think they must have read the new testament diagonally, only chosing the parts they liked and ignoring the rest. I've met a few priests, and most were just feeding into that hatred. Even the ones who were generally good people were hateful towards other religions. When I was in my 20s i started regarding organized religion as a plague on humanity and church as the place God died. Pretty soul crushing, since I still fundamentally define myself as Christian and i still pray, though most times i have a hard time explaining to myself why. I have long ago stopped believing in the church, since it clearly doesn't practice what it preachers and the level of hypocrisy is unbelievable. Now i think religion should be strictly personal and should never go beyond at most the closest family circle. Certainly not out in public and not used to judge and hurt others. For over 20 years, and to be honest I think since always, the only place i truly felt close to God was in nature and solitude. I only ever go to church on Easter and Christmas these days, and only because it's important to some people i love. I can count on one hand the churches where i felt spirit present, and i must have seen hundreds. So when i started this book i was at the same time hopeful and very circumspect. The subject is extremely complex and multifaceted and i feared disappointment. I am happy to see my hope was well placed, and the book itself is a lesson in introspection and honesty and responsibility. In a way father Chacour has asked many of the same fundamental questions i have asked myself, and God. Where is the truth and the justice, how can people who have been persecuted themselves turn into persecutors and not see it, or even worse, see it and think it is justified because someone else did the same to them; how is hate chosen out of a misplaced need for justice turned into revenge; how can i navigate all that and find the path that keeps me true to my values and keeps me human and keeps me from dehumanizing others, and yet allows me to take action and not be just a consenting victim. I can understand why he became a priest and even his belief in the church, though I don't share it. What remains is that he has found honest answers, with all the introspection and objectivity that implies, and in situations where i can't be sure i would have found them myself. And he took responsibility once the answers came, and took inspiring action. Chapeau ! It is refreshing and inspiring to see true peace makers still exist, and it bolsters my faith in humanity.

A must read for all Americans
This book challenges the bias’s we are raised in and calls the mind and heart to consider our individual part amidst hard situations. How often we the people, are lead to believe something about others who are not like us and we take those as facts. But are they truly facts or is there something else at play? Do we really want war and blood shed or peace.
Can we open our eyes to see truth or will we shut them and live in the dark?

Must read
The info from this first hand experience has changed everything I thought I knew about Israel and the conflicts that have been happening. I no longer have a side I choose but instead I see the people the children and the humanity behind Thoth sides… after visiting the Middle East myself and meeting so many people i have confirmed the truth of these words…

Quite Enlightening - a real eye opener
Once I started reading I couldn't put the book down. It is riviting; it has caused me start researching the real history of the formation of Israel from different views. Excellent reading.
