“A unique book important not only for Christians but for anyone who cares about social justice, liberation, and for a free Palestine. Erin Grimm’s focus on human flourishing and healing in the context of Israeli settler colonialism, occupation and an ongoing trauma is an important approach to understand the human story within the unfolding genocide in Gaza today.”
–Rev. Prof. Mitri Raheb, president of Dar al-Kalima and author of Decolonizing Palestine and Faith in the Face of Empire
“Erin Grimm’s newest book builds on her ongoing literary theme of helping people to find shalom (godly peace and human flourishing) in the midst of deep trauma—whether personal or societal, or some combination of both. In this book in particular, she calls our attention to the horrors experienced by Palestinians, not only in the immediate context of the war in Gaza, but also during decades of Israeli occupation. And she does so without ignoring the very real concerns of antisemitism that Jewish people face. Such a balanced plea for justice in our world—and more specifically in the Middle East—is a necessary corrective to the polarizing rhetoric of many other accounts. Thanks be to God for Grimm’s focus on the well-being of others. May we listen and then act accordingly.”
