Mark Dunman is not a professional theologian or writer, so his book is a refreshing and thought-provoking challenge to many readers. It covers a range of issue touching the debate about land borders and the use of biblical prophecy and gives solid biblical grounds for supporting the restoration of the Jewish people in the land of Israel. Derek White, former director of Christian Friends of Israel, UKThis book challenges the view that modern-day Israel has little connection with the covenants, prophecies and promises of the Bible, in particular those of the Old Testament.

The author shows that the return of the Jews to their ancient land in the twentieth century is the fulfilment of the promises God made to the Jewish people many centuries ago. As the same time he does not discount the rights of Palestinian Arabs, some of whom have lived in the land for centuries and addresses the moral issues in the Israel/Palestine conflict.

The books makes the case for praying for Israel and the Jewish people while recognising the calling of others to pray for the Palestinians and the Middle East in general.
