Forgiveness versus the Covert Bondage of Unforgiveness, by Rosie Hill
In Rosie M. Hill’s workbook Forgiveness Versus the Covert Bondage of Unforgiveness, the neurodiagnostic technologist and respected author re-explores the material covered in Neurotheology Reveals the Covert Bondage of Unforgiveness. This informative and uplifting workbook emphasizes the link between behavior, spirituality, and the process of forgiveness. As before, Hill uses her own history of childhood abuse to lay out a compelling argument for living as God intended us to live: helping one another and calling upon the strength of His intentions to free us from the bondage of our own intransigence. After all, Hill proposes, what creates a stronger life force than forgiving ourselves, others, and accepting the love of God? And what forms a greater sense of bondage—emotional and spiritual—than the inability to turn away from the deception of Satan? Whether an individual, group, or organization focused on a richer life and more satisfying relationships, this book delivers at every level.

Once an Arafat Man: The True Story of How a PLO Sniper Found a New Life, by Tass Saada
Born in the Gaza Strip and reared as a refugee in Saudi Arabia and Auatar, became a sniper for the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) as a young man. He also served as Yassar Arafat’s chauffeur. With co-author Dean Merrill, Saada retraces his life’s journey from hatred to love in Once an Arafat Man: The True Story of How a PLO Sniper Found a New Life. Saada encountered Christ in a Damascaus road-like experience when he relocated to America at the age of 23. This experience not only infused his life with purpose, but also shifted his theological understanding and perspective on interracial and interfaith relationships. After all, for a Muslim to worship Christ is to risk life and limb, yet Saada counted the cost, even facing his relatives with his new found faith. This book is a fascinating window into the book of Genesis, Islamic culture and the Arab-Israeli conflict. More importantly, it is a story of the ultimate hope rooted in Christ, the Savior of all–including Jews and Muslims.
