Why is the Middle East in such turmoil? Is the modern State of Israel in the plan of God? Can and should Christians do more than pray for Israel? Does God's Word contain instructions to Christians regarding the treatment of Jewish people? In the near-thirty years John Hagee has been a lover of Israel, he has grappled with each of these questions. Like him, most Christians today don't know much about the Jewish faith or the history of the Jewish nation. They don't understand what is truly at stake in the Middle East conflict and why Christians need to do more than just pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They don't know the role they've been called to play in relationship with Israel, and they aren't sure how God feels about Israel today, either. As Hagee guides readers through the scriptures that explain why Christians need to stand with Israel and the Jews today with as much fervor as God does, they will encounter a man deeply passionate about loving this historic people of God. They'll be inspired to take up that same mantle of love and play a part in extending acceptance and favor to the people of Israel, just as God has called them to do.

Good Book:
This book gives good concise reasons why Israel is important to America. It makes you appreciate the struggles that Israel has had to endure while being surrounded by people who want to see Israel defeated.

Hagee says that Jesus wasn't the Messiah for the Jews, only the gentiles... I wonder what Jesus would say.... "So he answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Matt 15:24 Secondly, if you think that Jesus isn't the Messiah for all men, and you are a "Bible believer," how can you explain this? "I AM the Way - and the Truth and the Life; NO ONE comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6 Jesus is the Messiah for all people, most certainly for the Jews.
A Great Read!:
You can't put this book down! It's well-written and well-researched. Every Christian should read this.
this is a hogwash book if you don't believe the bible to 100% true, but...:
if you DO believe the Bible to be the LIVING, BREATHING, WORD of GOD - then this book is dead on!!!!! The only complaint I have about it, which John Hagee admitted himself later, was improper terminology when he stated that Jesus did not come to be the "Messiah" for Israel. This is "technically" inaccurate... Jesus did come to be the "REINING Messiah" here on earth for Israel in His 1st coming, but He DID come to be the "Messiah" over death, hell, and the grave. Jesus WILL, however, come again to be the... more info
