Find encouragement in the genuine desire and movement toward reconciliation at the 'grass-roots' level in the Bible lands of Israel and Palestine.

Born from her regular interview slot on Premier Radio, Julia Fisher takes the title of her programme, "The Olive Tree", and presents a selection of her encounters with individuals and couples from both side of the religious, cultural and economic divide. Here she introduces down-to earth men and women actively engaged in seeking reconciliation. Truly powerful stories have emerge around the book's basic theme that, despite all the dire reports and bad news, the Christian church in Israel and in Palestine is working amongst the various groups and communities to promote understanding and tolerance on all sides.

"Meet Me At The Olive Tree" is the evidence that the Church of Christ in the Middle East is bringing together people of all traditions to meet, become friends and begin working together. This book collects some of Julia's interviews and stories with the aim of showing that reconciliation is possible - no matter how powerful the indoctrination of past tradition or how great the present social, political and economic pressures.
