This book was both fascinating and enlightening to me. I've never learned much about the forming of the present State of Israel. This was written by a woman who was there. She felt that God had called her to be there, in the midst of the shelling, shooting, hatred and fear, in order that she might pray and witness to those around her. She found that she also learned, by watching what God was doing, about His grace and mercy and faithfulness. ( )
