Looking for a good book to read?

The Book Room recommends "I Shall Not Hate", by Izzeldin Abuelaish

A Palestinian doctor who was born and raised in the Jabalia refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, Izzeldin Abuelaish is an infertility specialist who lives in Gaza but works in Israel. The Gaza doctor has been crossing the lines in the sand that
divide Israelis and Palestinians for most of his life--as a physician who treats patients on both sides of the line, as a humanitarian who sees the need for improved health and education for women as the way forward in the Middle East. And, most recently, as the father whose daughters were killed by Israeli soldiers on January 16, 2009, during Israel''s incursion into the Gaza Strip.

It was Izzeldin''s response to this tragedy that made news and won him humanitarian awards around the world. Instead of seeking revenge or sinking into hatred, he called for the people in the region to start talking to each other. His deepest hope is that his daughters will be "the last sacrifice on the road to peace between Palestinians and Israelis."

Calling all photographers ...

..... okay, here's your next challenge ..... it is spring ..... please prove it! Please send me your Spring pictures (they don't have to be from this year) so that I can post them on our bulletin board, have them used on the screen before worship and posted to facebook. I think there should be some great opportunities today! Thanks, Joni (jsmith@standrewshespeler.ca)
