Description
THIS IS THE STORY YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS.
Jonathan Kuttab is a Palestinian Human Rights lawyer and Christian pacifist who believes there is a way. Therefore, in this moving, harrowing memoir, he takes us on a personal journey. It is a journey from anger and thoughts of violence to his deep commitment to unrelenting peaceful activism.
Be forewarned, this is not the journey of a starry-eyed idealist. Rather, it is a true-life story of a man who has witnessed violence, terrible injustice, suffering and heart wrenching losses.
As a lawyer, Kuttab worked with those who are wrongfully imprisoned, sometimes without charges. He worked with people whose homes were bulldozed and olive and fruit trees seized to make way for others’ settlements. He argued tirelessly in courtrooms challenging oppressive practises and working for human rights.
This is a story of a man’s spiritual journey committed to following the Way of Jesus Christ, as well as a saga of political activism.
If you want to be inspired and informed continue to read this book. Aside from being inspired you will learn to look past the rhetoric of opposing sides. You will witness that there are still good people who work for justice, equality, and peace in the face of violence.
Jonathan Kuttab is a member of the Bar in Israel, Palestine and New York and cofounder of Al haq (the premier human rights organisation). Moreover, he is a member of Friends of Sabeel Liberation Theology movement in the United States. On top of everything he is a member of Nonviolence International, and Executive Director of FOSNA.
