So, last year I read a contemporary Christian novel by Robert Whitlow called Chosen People, and I recently discovered that there's a second book in this series called Promised Land.
What is so interesting to me about this series is that the main character, Hana, is a Christian Israeli Arab woman from Galilee who is living in Atlanta. She speaks Hebrew, Arabic, and English fluently, and through the course of these 2 books, travels between Georgia and Israel. In classic Robert Whitlow style, these legal thrillers are full of adventure set against the backdrop of legal drama. And, you get to do all of this while visiting some of the biggest historical sites in Israel—does it get any better?
It was fascinating to see the world through Hana's eyes, especially as a Christian Israeli Arab woman, to see her love for Israel and for the Lord. I feel like I'm going to need to read these books again in order to grasp the depth of her insight into the conflict in the Holy Land.
Reading these books only made me more excited for my trip! I'll be in Israel is just over a month! I can't believe it!
(I love that this photo has them with Jerusalem stone!)
