Overview

"Follow the factual history of Israel from Abraham to today in this very concise, easy-to-follow, short summary that doesn't skip any time periods. Even if you know Israel's Biblical history, you may not know what happened to The Land during the first few centuries A.D. and during Medieval times. Pauline skillfully gives us the big historical picture which reveals how we got to today's Palestinian struggle. Inform yourself through Pauline's non-political, non-emotionally-charged, resource-based approach to this historical and spiritual account that is very pertinent and vital to today's current events. ISRAEL AND THE NATIONS explores God's promises, purposes, and plans for Israel, concisely covering the Biblical and historical record of the Jewish relationship to God and The Land--from Abraham to today--along with some spiritual insights. ENDORSEMENTS: In a time where claims and counter-claims about Israel/Palestine have become narratives set adrift from fact, this work of Pauline Shone's is a refreshing change. Usually we are confronted, from both sides of this wrenching dispute, with fragmentary data and strident claims. Elegantly concise and workmanlike, Israel and the Nations tells the essentials of the entire Biblical/historical record. It is a dispassionate retelling of the Jewish people's relationship to The Land. For the person first coming to the topic it is a fine introduction to the long, historical sweep of this issue. For those familiar with the issues, it is an excellent reminder of the consistent Biblical and spiritual roots of the Jewish people's place in The Land. The Rev. Cn. Daryl Fenton, Executive Director, CMJ USA I warmly recommend this book to those seeking to learn about the history of the Jewish people, and God's plans and purposes for them. It is a useful educational and inspirational resource, well written, informative and concise. Sharon Sanders, Co-Founder and Director of the Ministry of Teaching, Christian Friends of Israel, Jerusalem Pauline Shone in this new book has done us all a great service by setting out the ""big picture"" of God's redemptive work. This book develops insights from her previous book - ""Lamb of God"" in which she outlined key Biblical Messianic prophecies. In this new book, Pauline carefully examines the Biblical promises rooted in the patriarchs and the prophets. As the book unfolds the reader will see the historical and theological outworking of key Biblical themes such as election, deliverance, and restoration. I am sure this book will be a good starting point for Bible students and teachers as they explore the promises and purposes of God, alongside the spiritual dynamics of good and evil. I am also sure many will find the concise and careful structure set out in sixteen brief chapters helpful and inspiring. I warmly recommend this book for personal reflection and group study.
