Book Reviews - Sons of Abraham
"For over ten years I have been privileged to participate in meetings organized by Tom Hess for Arab, Jewish and Gentile leaders in the Middle East. It is an amazing and moving experience to bond with brothers from Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, Yemen, Israel, and the Palestinian Authority. Our unity is based on the truth of the Word of God - Arabs accepting and embracing God's purposes for the nation of Israel, and Jews affirming God's purposes for the Arab nations of the Middle East. May this book have wide distribution and challenge many to pray for the fullness of Isaiah's great prophecy (Isaiah 19:23-25)."

"This is one of the most fascinating books ever published on the subject of the Children of Abraham; Jews, Arabs, and others, who have the same DNA in their blood, but have been enemies since the time of Genesis. Not only does Tom Hess deal with the subject from a biblical standpoint, he introduces real live people from these different tribes and families and proves, by their testimonies that it is possible for the sons of Abraham to dwell in peace and unity, and how this can be accomplished. This is the true 'Road Map for Peace' in the Middle East. Our world leaders need this truth that is contained in this remarkable testimonial as soon as possible."

"The Gospels and the Book of Acts shares with us the foundation of the Apostolic Church, first fruits from the first century. Sons of Abraham shows us the first fruits of the restoration of the Apostolic Church in the last century among Jews and Arabs in Israel and the Middle East. This book through testimonies of Jewish and Arab leaders especially over the last century, prophetic acts, and a synopsis of the restoration of the Church in Egypt, Israel, and Assyria shows how God is preparing the way for fullness (Romans 11:12, 25). The way is being prepared that will usher in the King of Glory, Messiah, to take up His throne in Jerusalem forever."

"This book is most timely as our contemporary world struggles with the Middle East conflict that seem to have no solution. Tom in this work presents the perfect and only solution to the historical frustration of the peoples the of the lands of the Bible."

"Tom Hess is an unusual man always doing unusual things; first it was the 24-hour Prayer Watch Gates, then the All Nations Convocation Jerusalem etc. Especially his latest book Sons of Abraham is a landslide in book writing. It is not only a detailed and productive account of history in Israel and the Arab nations, it also addresses crucial issues of today’s religious welfare, society, and politics of the Middle East, and in our world at large.
The key to world peace is for the children of Abraham to look back into their common history to build a common future. It is a masterpiece that we other children of Abraham, by faith, should follow. One of the major reasons why God chose Abraham is because He could trust him. He could trust him to keep, teach and pass through history His ways to his descendants. Genesis 18:19 'For I have know him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the Lord, to do righteousness and justice, that the Lord may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.'
I can see this same quality in my brother Tom Hess. History is not a waste of ime, but a trust God only handles to people who are be able to pass it down to the next generation. I pray that this masterpiece would go a long way to prospering and blessing abundantly the next generation of believers, sons of Abraham in Israel, the Arab Middle East, and all the earth."

"Tom Hess has a heart to see true worship, of both Jews and Arabs, rise to bring glory and honor to our wonderful Messiah. Sons of Abraham Worshiping God Together is a powerful picture of what I believe is God’s destiny for Israel and the entire Middle East."

"What started off as a vision for a 'House of Prayer for All Nations' has grown and developed into many facets that today I can only describe it as now a 'Movement.' For many like me who joined this prayer initiative along the way, we need to know the full background to this network of the larger Prayer Movement that God is raising up in these last days. One morning at an elders meeting during the 2002 All Nations Convocation Jerusalem, I made this comment, 'There needs to be a written account of the series of messages that God had been giving over these years and an account of the developments to date for the benefit of those who joined later.' Tom has done precisely that in this book.
It is valuable and compulsory reading for any who wishes to continue to be a part of this movement. The resource materials contained in this book are invaluable for the purpose of providing information and enlightenment so that one can participate fully with more understanding and appreciation. Finally, I wish to state that this is only the beginning. It has been stated many times during these convocations that we are on a journey preparing the way for the King of Glory."

"Sons of Abraham worshipping God together as a Blessing in the Midst of the Earth by Tom Hess is scholarly, inspirational, and prophetic all at the same time. This historical overview of Israel and the Middle East is timely and a much needed addition to the global prayer movement."

"What a book! It describes the story of an ongoing reconciliation process between Jews and Arabs despite the current media onslaught promoting the opposite. But the remarkable testimonies from both sides make it clear: Such reconciliation is a supernatural work that comes with a high price tag. It is a journey of faith, obedience and perseverance. Tom Hess is running this race exemplary for many years, resulting in a large, cross-cultural network of friendships that grows in faith to the eternal promises of the Word of God. This book is a mighty dedication and testimony to the power of the cross, the blood of the Lamb who takes away the sins of the world."

"Sons of Abraham is an important book for all Christians in these last days. There are three areas that God is bringing a strong emphasis on in His Church: sound Biblical Doctrine, World Missions and Israel. As such, it is important for us in these times of great Anti-Semitism, where many are embracing Replacement Theology, to have a prophetic understanding of God’s end-time plan for Israel and the Middle East.
The Lord spoke to Abraham that his descendants would become a blessing to every nation on earth. This is God’s ultimate goal for Israel, that the whole of mankind would reap the benefits of the blessing that God has given her through Abraham and that the sons of Abraham would worship Yeshua together! This will usher in the coming of our Lord and bring about 'the restoration of all things' (Acts 3:21).
Reverend Tom Hess has done an excellent job in presenting God’s end-time plan from the Word of God and his personal insight through his years of prayer and study of history and the Middle East. If you desire to understand God’s plan of restoration, I know this book will bless you mightily."

"Tom Hess has written an exiting and interesting book about a subject rarely touched in depth. In an easy and accessible way he describes the history of the modern messianic and Arab church movements. He tells about the smalls beginnings and the works and personalities that are active today as well as testimonies about prayer and reconciliation. To see that there is a movement of love and reconciliation between Jew and Arab through faith in Yeshua in the midst of all the hatred and hostility in the Middle East is very refreshing. This story, about what the Lord is doing, is very important to tell and Tom does is well. It is also tied together with biblical prophetic scriptures that clearly point out that there will be a supernatural unity, created by the Lord, in the future that will prepare the way for the Messiah."
