About this listen
Christian Book Award Finalist - Audio - 2022!!!
Do recent changes in the Middle East signal peace? One Arab country after another is signing historic, game-changing peace, trade, investment, and tourism deals with Israel. At the same time, Russia, Iran, and Turkey are forming a highly dangerous alliance that could threaten the Western powers. Meanwhile, the U.S. is drawing down its military forces in the Mideast and focusing on matters closer to home. Where’s it all heading?
New York Times bestselling author Joel C. Rosenberg, based in Jerusalem, skillfully and clearly explains the sometimes-encouraging, sometimes-violent, yet rapidly shifting landscape in Israel and the Arab/Muslim world. Enemies and Allies will take listeners behind closed doors in the Middle East and introduce them to the very kings and crown princes, presidents and prime ministers who are leading the change.
Includes exclusive, never-before-published quotes, insights, and analysis from the author’s conversations with some of the most complex and controversial leaders in the world:
• Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS)
• Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi
• Jordan’s King Abdullah II
• United Arab Emirates’ Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed (MBZ)
• Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu
• Israeli president Reuven Rivlin

As historian, former diplomat, and presidential advisor, Thant Myint-U saw the cracks forming. In this insider's diagnosis of a country at a breaking point, he dissects all of the elements that came together to challenge the incipient democracy.

Angela Merkel has always been an outsider. A pastor’s daughter raised in Soviet-controlled East Germany, she spent her twenties working as a research chemist, entering politics only after the fall of the Berlin Wall. And yet within fifteen years, she had become chancellor of Germany and, before long, the unofficial leader of the West. In this “masterpiece of discernment and insight” (The New York Times Book Review), acclaimed biographer Kati Marton sets out to pierce the mystery of Merkel’s unlikely ascent.

Reads like a spy thriller
If my expectations were for Joel to write a dry and boring piece of non fiction, I was definitely wrong. I was on the edge of my seat as Joel shared a very even handed but ultimately hopeful book about the state of the Middle East and it’s hopes for peace.

Amazing insight. Learned so much!
This book really has changed my perspective about the Muslim faith. The information and informed insights were eye opening. Now that I've heard the audio version, I intend to purchase a hard copy do that I can study it's contents more thoroughly and retain them better. Mr. Rosenberg, I'm very thankful that God has put you in a position to gather this information and explain it with such credibility. Thank you for being obedient to God's call on your life.
