Tales of Total Forgiveness (Hodder Christian Books)

Including the experiences of a woman who found the strength to forgive the man who raped her, parents who have forgiven the man who murdered their son, and the story of two drug addicts in Jerusalem, a Jew and an Arab, who have found God and the spirit of forgiveness. Each individual person's experience builds an inspiring and moving testament to the strength and love of individual Christians which provides a strong lesson for us all in the turmoil of the modern world.

“This book is shocking; there is simply no other word for it and all the more so because of the restrained way in which Tori Dante deals with all the systematic abuse suffered at the hands of her own father. It must have cost her dearly to write it; we dare not ignore it.”

Rob Parsons

This is the harrowing story of Tori Dante, wife of the Tribe’s Cameron Dante, and of the regular sexual abuse inflicted on her by her father. It describes her journey from the despair of her childhood to the healing she discovered after committing her life to Jesus. It has been written, with the help of writer and broadcaster Julia Fisher, to inspire all readers and will be of particular help to anyone who has suffered abuse themselves, or those who are close to them.

This brand new edition includes an additional chapter updating Tori’s story, a new Foreword by Cameron and an updated resource section.

“This graphic and moving account is a challenge to us all. Would your church have listened and obtained the help Tori needed, both as a child and an adult?”

“I’m proud to call Tori my friend and incredibly proud of the God who has met her and changed her. I know her deeply disturbing story needs to be told and hope that many will find comfort through it.”

Andy Hawthorne, The Tribe

A Future for Israel?: Christian Arabs Share Their Stories (Authentic Lifestyle)

Arab Christians reflect on their journey of faith and how they understand what the Bible says about Israel. This collection of true stories, which demonstrate the power of God’s love, will bring hope to all those who consider peace between Arabs and Jews to be unobtainable.

Stories include:
Naim Khoury - An Arab pastor living in Bethlehem. He has a church in Bethlehem and a church in the Old City of Jerusalem. He was shot last year by Palestinian gunmen – he survived.

George Kazoura – a Arab pastor living in Rama (northern Israel). He runs a church and an orphanage (for mainly muslim children). He was seriously ill a few years ago and believes God spared his life.

Shmuel Aweida – an Arab pastor in Haifa who pastors a Messianic Jewish congregation!

"It is the sheer grace of God that lies behind the accounts Julia Fisher writes about in this book. Only God himself could cause an Arab Christian to baptize two Jews in the River Jordan. You will read about such in this book. Tears will fill your eyes as you read how Palestinian Christians say to Jews ‘We love you’ and how Messianic Jews say to Palestinians ‘We love you’. This book should be read by every Christian in the world."
