Shaped by hundreds of conversations with ordinary Israelis and Palestinians, The Holy and the Broken is a shattering cry for peace amidst the holy stones and olive groves of the twice-promised land. Following the October 7 attack and the subsequent war that tore apart the lives of so many people in Gaza and Israel, this book explores both how we reached this point and where to go from here. Written by a highly respected peacebuilder and dual narrative educator, this is a story of both holy hopes and broken dreams stripped of their usual partisan narratives. It’s sure to comfort the troubled and trouble the comfortable.
