DOC Shade-Grown Slavery: The Lives of Slaves on Coffee Plantations in Cuba by William C. Van Norman in History

Description

Former TIME Magazine Jerusalem bureau chief David Aikman takes a sober; balanced impactful look at the Middle East; bringing a journalist’s mind and a believer’s heart to his examination of a region aflame. In this timely and informed exploration of current Middle East issues that goes beyond headlines and sound bites; Aikman fills in the blanks for thoughtful Christians; accurately tracing recent history and fairly portraying the leaders who have made that history. With a firm grasp on a biblical understanding of Israel’s past; present and future; he turns a critical eye on the political and religious policies of the region’s prime players; resorting neither to blind pro Israeli sentiment nor to reactionary pro Palestinian bias. Aikman challenges us to a uniquely Christian approach to the Middle East; respect; reason and love; rather than unqualified tolerance on the one hand or religious crusading on the other.
