Seeds of Turmoil - Bryant Wright

This is an interesting book, that describes what the author believes to be the beginnings of the Middle Eastern conflict. I personally agree with him on this matter. Without being too preachy, the author calmly describes the relationship between the Jews and their Arab brothers and neighbors, and accurately describes the relationship's beginning. This is accomplished by using scripture out of the Old Testament in the Bible. Keep in mind that the Old Testament is essentially the Hebrew Bible.

For a person that is professing to be a Christian, you should read this book. Even if you feel you know the basis of the relationship, read this book. It provides a step-by-step description of the beginnings and how man, outside of the divine leadership of God, really messes things up. It also gives insight into God displaying grace to human decisions that occur outside of His will.

Since this book strictly uses the Bible as proof, some may say that it is not accurate. However, if one delves into the myriad of research that has been and is being done regarding the Ancient Near East, and relates that to the Bible, one can see that the Bible is a very accurate historical book.

I would recommend this book to anyone. It reads easy and fast. It also gives opportunity to dive into the scriptures and read for oneself the histories and facts outlined therein.
