Once an Arafat Man by Tass Saada
Once an Arafat Man is the amazing story of a Palestinian sniper, well located within the PLO - he was even a chauffeur for Yasser Arafat - turned chef in the US, who then converted to Christianity and returned to his homeland to help those he once hated.
Likes: illuminating insight into the perspective of the Palestinian's plight from refugees from their homes to unwelcome residents of neighboring Arab states. This story takes you deeper than the typical world news headlines to understand the the hatred and perspectives of the people of the Holy Land and offers hope into what the power of love and faith can achieve.
Dislikes: conversational tone/style of the book is abrupt and sometimes lacks smooth transitions between topics and events. Recommended for anyone interested in the middle east conflict on a personal level or the issues surrounding converting from Islam to Christianity.
