What an awesome story of how amazing God is. Crazy how far Tass came from killing Jews to boldly proclaiming Jesus as Lord in Gaza, and witnessing to Arafat after killing for him. Wow"Once an Arafat Man" is a well-written memoir about a man who was born a Muslim in Palestine in 1951, who grew up hating Jews, killed both Jews and Christians, but then later became a Christian and worked to bring reconciliation between Arabs and Jews. It's a fast-paced story that kept my interest from beginning to end.He described how his family became refugees, why they were moved to Saudi Arabia, what life was like there for Palestinan refugees, how he learned to hate Jews, how he met Yasser
This book provides great insight into the root of the struggles and the ongoing hostilities between the Palestinians and Israel. The best aspect of the book is the author's reminder that Jews, Christians and Muslims are spiritual cousins. God loves them all. There is hope for peace in the solution. He models his belief by turning from terrorism, seeking forgiveness for his past acts and truly loving others.

A fascinating story of a former PLO sniper who worked directly with Arafat at one point, and then came to the US, became a restaurant entrepreneur, and ultimately underwent conversion to Christianity. It isn't often you hear first hand from a former terrorist about life in the trenches, and the book is worth reading for that alone.His acclimation to America was also interesting, kind of a self-made man story repeated by thousands of immigrants and always impressive. Towards the middle-latter
I loved the read,the book gave me a better reflection on the war from "within" the Palestine camp.His approach to Love is what amazed me even after hating for so long.The book made me question my love towards others
This book was a fascinating personal history of someone who has experienced just about every side of the middle east conflicts and was hard to put down. After growing up being indoctrinated to hate the Jews, he became a sniper and took a number of lives which he later regretted. Because of the Arab/Israeli wars his family was displaced from their successful business, in partnership with a Jew, because the surrounding Muslim countries told Arab residents to move out of harms way while they
