True stories of five refugees who escaped from genocide in south Sudan and Darfur, made their way through Egypt and were smuggled into Israel, the only country their Islamic government prohibited them from entering. In desperation they fled across the border anyway, with nothing but the clothes on their backs. No food. No money. No papers. No possessions. Just thankful to be alive. When hundreds of these tall, dark Africans showed up in Eilat, Israel, John and Judy Pex, who own a hostel there, befriended the refugees. Most of these refugees are Christian and one is Muslim. Their stories will both gladden and tear your heart.

Make yourself available to God and He will use you in ways you can't imagine. You will be convinced of this as you read the story of John and Judy Pex and their conversions as hippies roaming the world in the 1970s to their immigration to Israel, and how the door opened for them to open a hostel there. Through touching and humorous stories, the book follows the various people groups who have come to the hostel during the past thirty years: from backpackers and Israel Trail hikers to Arab visitors, Russian immigrants, and Chinese construction workers. In the volatile and highly charged atmosphere of the Middle East, the Shelter is a point of reconciliation between believers and non-believers, Jews and non-Jews, and Israelis and Arabs, all staying together under one roof. For people from over ninety countries the Shelter Hostel has been a beacon of light and a welcoming home for thirty years. A well-known landmark in Eilat on the Red Sea, the Shelter has gone through many transformations, but the focus and goal remains the same: to share God's love by ministering to the body, soul, and spirit of the guests. More than just a hostel, the Shelter is a drop-in and rehab center, youth club, immigrant absorption home, and vibrant community. Enjoy these touching and humorous stories that reveal how God uses ordinary people to participate in His extraordinary work.

Many Christians think of end times prophecy as a gigantic, intimidating puzzle -- difficult to piece together and impossible to figure out. But every puzzle can be solved if you approach it the right way. Paul Benware compares prophecy to a picture puzzle. Putting the edge pieces together first builds the 'framework' that makes it easier to fit the other pieces in their place. According to Benware, the framework for eschatology is the biblical covenants. He begins his comprehensive survey by explaining the major covenants. Then he discusses several different interpretations of end times prophecy. Benware digs into the details of the Rapture, the Great Tribulation, the judgements and resurrections, and the millennial kingdom. But he also adds a unique, personal element to the study, answering questions as: -Why study bible prophecy? -What difference does it make if I'm premillenial or amillenial? If what the Bible says about the future puzzles you, Understanding End Times Prophecy will help you put together the pieces and see the big picture.
