The United Christian Communities Bookstore

Feed Your Mind, Nourish Your Soul ^TM The bookstore of United Christian Communites Inc.

One of the best way to begin to help the Christian communities in the Holy Land is to learn about them, to learn about the Holy Land, to learn about your religion and then to think about what they all mean, and can mean, to you.

And if you were to do all that, then you will find that that path is also one of the best ways to learn about yourself.

The following books have been selected with this in mind. Return often to explore new additions to the list. We believe the books selected are both informative and non-offensive to any person or believer. But if we are wrong, on either score, or if you have suggestions for additions to the list, please click here to let us know.

And by the way, your purchase of any books from this page will result in a contribution being made to help us in our work. (And if you would like to help us in our work in preserving the Christian presence in the Holy Land, please consider a small donation and click here.)

Holy Land Fiction


Sweeping fiction offering an insider's look at the daily life of a biblical group of mothers and wives told in the voice of Jacob's daughter Dinah, who offers stories of her four mothers, Rachel, Leah, Zilpah, and Bilhah, all wives to Jacob.	A woman's mid-life flight to the Holy Land as she questions her marriage and her life. Not the typical inspirational novel, but part travelogue, part history lesson, part Bible study, blending a wonderful story with empathetic characters.	In the words of reviewers: "one of those rare, absorbing novels that grabs you from the first page and simply doesn't let go." "In the same caliber as "The Red Tent". " "No longer am I an observer reading [Bible] stories from afar. I am now a participant, living the stories with the characters that experienced them."	Fiction covering the history of the Holy Land, from Roman times to the present day by putting you right into the lives of three women: Leah, one of the early Christians; Hannah, an archeologist; and Rachel, Hannah's daughter.	A semi-autobiographical "elaborate tapestry" by an Israeli Christian Arab that interweaves the 150-year history of the author's clan in Fassuta, a village in northern Israel. In the words of one reviewer: "It is highly poetic prose and a magical exploration of childhood."
