Format:Paperback
Fr. Elias Chacour is a champion of the Arab-Israeli peace process. His book, Blood Brothers, challenges the reader to analyze his own feelings and assumptions about Palestinians, Jews, and Israel. The book also gives the reader a very personal look at the history and drama surrounding the Palestinian Christian people. Their story is one of great sorrow that is seldom seen or heard in newspapers and television. Any person interested in the Arab-Israeli peace process should read this book.

Despite some questionable facts -- the expulsion of his village in April 1947(?!) rather than late 1948 as most other records show -- this is a touching and hopeful book for those seeking Middle East Peace. Even with such technical errors and a very Arab tendency to resort to conspiracy theory type reasoning, it is a far better portrayal of Middle East realities and problems than the malignant tripe that has passed for popular writing or history (e.g. Leon Uris, Bernard Lewis, Daniel Pipes).

Format:Paperback
Father Elias Chacour is a Palestinian Christian Israeli citizen who has striven to reconcile Arab and Jew through peaceful efforts and mutual understanding. His memoir is written in an easy touching style and chronicles his life. Free of the prevalent falsehoods and stereotypes of Palestinians that one might read in a Leon Uris novel, we are led by the hand through the real injustices inflicted upon the Palestinians and the efforts of people -- Arabs, Jews, and outsiders -- to bring peace to the troubled land and its peoples.

Blood Brothers
Powerful story about growing up as a Palestinian Christian. Surprisingly, the message is not one of hatred but of an overwhelming desire to live together in harmony. Read more

Something to Think About
As a Christian living in Northern Ireland, this book could easily have been written by a man of God from this part of the world - the parallels are striking. Read more

bad, biased, anti-Israel
Elias Chacour has always been Anti-Israel Anti-Semetic, a better book which will show much more detail and extensive evidence can be found in Joan Peter's book "From Time... Read more

Excellent
As an Arab American, of PalestinianChristian descent, I very much appreciate Father Chacour's writing about a much-neglected subject- Arab Christianity. Read more

Provocative, well-written, from the heart
I read this book in one 24 hour time period. It was so interesting I could not put it down. Chacour relates scenes from his own personal story in such a way that you can close... Read more

An unforgettable reading experience!
In Sept., 1994, I read this book in Jerusalem and wished it was required reading for every citizen and politician involved in the Middle East Peace Process!
