Essay On Blood Brothers

Decent Essays
The book I read for my book report was Blood Brothers. The author of the book Blood Brothers is Elias Chacour. The book contains a total of 234 pages from cover to cover. Blood Brothers is a non-fiction book that is sure to keep you reading. In this book there is only one main character. The character is Elias Chacour a young boy who was born in the village of Biram, Palestine. He was raised by Melkite Christian parents. Elias loved just being a boy playing and exploring on the family fig farm. All of this came to an abrupt end with the arrival of Zionist soldiers who violently forced the villagers to flee to the neighboring destroyed village of Gish. Elias Chacour enjoyed a simple childhood in Biram, a small village in Galilee. School, church, and family were all …show more content…
Chacour has spearheaded the construction of community centers, schools and libraries in native Palestinian villages throughout Israel and has founded the country's first non-sectarian university in Ibillin. Chacour has received praise and honor from fellow Christians, Muslims, and the Israeli government, so much so, that he was named Man of the Year in Israel. This book has a Christian theme of never give up and to trust God. Ever since Elias was a boy he has had to trust God. Elias trusted God from the time he was kicked out of his land to the time when he started the country’s first non-sectarian university. It’s cool to see how God can work through one man and do so many great things. If a friend asked me if they should read this book I would say maybe. It was a good book, but got a little boring. This book has a very good Christian message, but is a little confusing and hard to track. Overall it was a good book just got boring for me, but you can choose for

This research paper explores the context of Patrick deWitt’s The Sisters Brothers (2011). DeWitt’s use of a “stylized abstraction of western speech” (Vernon 1) offers its readers a respite from everyday life. Although it follows the traditional scheme of a cowboy western genre, the novel has certain innovations of its own (Vanja 130). The novel is narrated in a gritty 19th Century western speech, which although is sharp and distinctive, allows the story to not always be serious yet not always be funny, making the novel entertaining.…

    I thoroughly enjoyed reading through all seven chapters of Philip Yancey’s book “The Bible Jesus Read.” It felt as though I was sitting across form the writer just soaking in all he had to say. After reading commentaries and Bible dictionaries, this book gave a fresh perspective on the Old Testament. Yancey was not interested in the nitty gritty details of the Old Testament like date and author of books, but rather focusing on the point and the big picture.…
