Beschrijving

Ishmael was sent away by his father Abraham and rejected by God as the son of promise. This has left deep marks on the history of the Middle East.

Yet God dearly loved the lad and blessed him in many ways. Even today, God loves Ishmael’s descendants, the ethnic Arabs, and makes Himself known to them in wonderful ways. In fact, He has a unique plan to make them a blessing to their relatives the Israelites. There is real hope for the Middle East today!

Enter the ancient world as Laurens takes you into the tent of Abraham and the living room of Arabs at the time of Jesus. Become part of secret conversations between some Arabs today as they grapple with the message of the Book.
