Having been born in the Middle East and raised among Arabs, Christians, and Jews, Pastor Benny Hinn has a truly unique perspective on the Middle East. For this reason Christians with a sincere desire to understand the roots of the conflict have questioned him for years, prompting him to publish this timely book on the subject. Blood in the Sand takes readers on a journey in time from Abraham, Isaac, and Ishmael to the critical situation we currently face as citizens of the world. Along the way, Pastor Benny shares personal memories of growing up in the region, scriptural prophecies pertaining to the current crisis, and his own heart regarding what he believes is on the horizon.
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
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. (Aug.)

From the Back Cover
FACT AND FAITH IN A WAR-WEARY LAND
The Arab-Israeli conflict makes daily headlines, but few understand the history behind the struggle. In Blood in the Sand, Benny Hinn takes you deep inside the region - the history, politics, and religions- to show you what is happening there and, more importantly, why. Drawing from his deep history in the area, his personal relationships with top Israeli and Arab leaders, and his biblical scholarship, he answers critical questions such as: How did we get into this tragic situation? What are the dangers? What does the Bibe say about the future?
"It was a quiet summer morning in Jaffa, Israel, the historic coastal city that borders Tel Aviv. As a fourteen-year-old I was seated in my classroom, when suddenly I heard a sound that sent shivers through my body and made my heart stand still. That Monday, June 5, 1967, the air-raid sirens began to wail, and I thought, `This is it!'"Â --Benny Hinn
With an engaging style and many previously unpublished personal photos, Hinn weaves together memories of his childhood with historical facts and biblical prophecy to take you on a journey from Abraham, Isaac, and Ishmael to the critical situation we face today.
