Blood in the Sand: A Journey Through the Middle East Conflict—the Stakes, the Solutions, and Why There Is Hope

Benny Hinn, . . Strang, $15.99 (238pp) ISBN 978-1-59979-770-0

Internationally known Christian evangelist Hinn weaves his own Middle Eastern heritage into a presentation of what he believes will happen in the region in the next few decades in this wide-angle commentary about past, current and future events affecting the Middle East. Hinn believes in the indestructibility of Israel, even in case of a predicted nuclear attack. He argues that regardless of political agreements about the Palestinians, God owns the land and will ultimately return it to Israel completely in keeping with his covenant. While Hinn is sympathetic to people of all faiths, he believes all must believe in Christ to be saved. His writing is straightforward but prosaic. Hinn interacts in life and in the book with global leaders as a prophet, foretelling conflicts that only God can intervene in to bring peace. For those who want to understand a charismatic Christian prophetic worldview and that kind of interpretation of the Bible, and current and end time events involving the Holy Land, look no further.
