Summary
"Elias Chacour, a Palestinian-born Christian and Israeli citizen, is a living symbol of hope amid the fear and conflict that daily disrupt the lives of the people among whom he lives and works as Archbishop of Galilee." "In this book, Elias Chacour describes his struggle to be a light in the darkness of hatred and terror, to see friends and enemies alike as God sees them, to break the endless cycles of violence and retaliation. Yet for all his struggle, he is full of hope and his joy is irrepressible."--BOOK JACKET.
