Must Read: Palestinian Memories by Rev. Alex Awad

From the website:

Palestinian Memories: The Story of a Palestinian Mother and Her People
By Rev. Alex Awad

"In his book, Palestinian Memories: The Story of a Palestinian Mother and Her People, Rev. Awad shares his mother's story, a story that epitomizes the tragedy of the Al Nakba (the Catastrophe of 1948). Part One tells the dramatic and moving story of Huda and her family from the Ottoman Period until the present. When his father was shot in front of his home in East Jerusalem, his mother Huda escaped with her seven children and was left to raise them on her own. While studying to be a registered nurse, she supported her children's education and held the family together. Her story of courage, determination, and personal faith in Jesus Christ will come as a great encouragement to Christians throughout the world and at the same time will shed much light on the Palestinian Christian and Muslim communities in the Holy Land and the difficulties they face under Israeli occupation."
