Eileen Flemings first of five journeys into Israel Palestine resulted in "KEEP HOPE ALIVE". This tale is a fictionalized retelling of the well remembered memoirs of a 1948 refugee from the Upper Galilee who made his way to the USA and realized the American dream. After a lucrative career in the Defense Industry during the Cold War and THAT DAY we call 9/11, Khaled Diab brought together American Jews, Christians and Muslims to respond to evil with good by founding the 501 3-c Olive Trees Foundation for Peace."Keep Hope Alive" tells his story and is an historical chronology with connections to antiquity, and hope for the future."Keep Hope Alive" is also Eileens spiritual journey told with humor and insight through six fictional characters who represent six ways to intuit God.Book Reviewer from www.midwestbookreview.com At first I thought this had something to do with the famous line of Jessie Jackson. Im delighted to say it is much, much more. The author shows that there are many people from all over the world who are moving in the right direction to establish peace in the Middle East. The organization Olive Trees Foundation for Peace/OTFFP is Arabs, Jews, and Christians who have formed a non profit non political group who have one goal; to have Israelis and Palestinians live side by side in peace. "These are people from all walks of life who are committed to changing the area into a peaceful region. Social movements like this grow until finally government jumps on-board. This is so counter to the policies of the Bush administration. As dialogue continues to grow on this subject government will be forced to rethink its approach to the region. This is a book that should be read by anyone does not believe there can be peace in the Middle East. It should also be included in schools and on the college level to help focus on how the area can move toward peace. Gary Roen
