Netta and her family have relocated temporarily from Israel to Los Angeles, and when her seventeen-year-old brother mysteriously disappears, she becomes convinced that he has been abducted by Palestinian terrorists.

The author’s writings are his discoveries that occurred over a period of 10 years while he was a member of a church or just visiting a church. He observed that the pastors and the leaders of some churches have turned their Sunday morning services into a fundraising event. They are using God’s house as a building to collect monies for their own personal agendas (GREED). Some of these PASTORS and leaders of these churches are trying to take over and own something that doesn’t belong to them. They are trying to take over possession of GOD’S church and treating the church as if it were their own. Many of these pastors believe that whatever the church collects,they are solely entitled to. They believe they must have more than half of the money that comes into the church if not all of it.This is not of GOD. IT IS OF THE DEVIL. It is WITCHCRAFT. To all you PASTORS and leaders of the churches that the author is speaking about, stop this practice, listen and hear. You don’t own the church because you founded the church. It is GOD’S CHURCH. The LORD will never give up possession of his church, and to you PASTORS and leaders of the churches who are practicing the LORD’S way in the church,keep up the good works and may the LORD continue to bless you and the churches that you preside over.

Shows how ordinary and seemingly decent people can be stirred to hate and even to kill their neighbours. The author delves between the questions of right and wrong to get at the psychological mechanism of enmity itself.

"An unnamed American city feeling the effects of a war waged far away and suffering from bad weather is the backdrop for this startling work of fiction. The protagonists are aimless young men going from one blue collar job to the next, or in a few cases, aspiring to middle management. Their everyday struggles--with women, with the morning commute, with a series of cruel bosses--are somehow transformed into storytelling that is both universally resonant and wonderfully uncanny. That is the unsettling, funny, and ultimately heartfelt originality of Saïd Sayrafiezadeh's short fiction, to be at home in a world not quite our own but with many, many lessons to offer us"--

“Offers practical guidance for how to work with diverse others, which is a precondition for confronting many of the complex challenges we face.” —Morris Rosenberg, President, Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation Collaboration is increasingly difficult and increasingly necessary. Often, to get something done that really matters to us, we need to work with people we don’t agree with or like or trust. Adam Kahane has faced this challenge many times, working on big issues like democracy and jobs and climate change and on everyday issues in organizations and families. He has learned that our conventional understanding of collaboration—that it requires a harmonious team that agrees on where it’s going, how it’s going to get there, and who needs to do what—is wrong. Instead, we need a new approach to collaboration that embraces discord, experimentation, and genuine cocreation—which is exactly what Kahane provides in this groundbreaking and timely book. “Kahane shows that people who don’t see eye-to-eye really can come together to solve big challenges. Whether in our businesses, our governments, our communities, or our personal lives, we can all benefit from this smart and timely book.” —Mark Tercek, former President, The Nature Conservancy and coauthor of Nature’s Fortune “Shows us how thinking and seeing differently can help us navigate this challenging landscape. Kahane abandons orthodoxy in taking on the most intransigent problems, showing us the path to effective action in a complex world.” —James Gimian, coauthor of The Rules of Victory “Collaborating with the Enemy belongs on the same shelf as Sun Tzu’s The Art of War and Machiavelli’s The Prince.” —Stephen Huddart, President, The J.W. McConnell Family Foundation
