“Let­ters from Israel: An Amer­i­can journalist’s adven­tures in the Holy Land”

Samuel J. Scott is a Boston jour­nal­ist and news­pa­per edi­tor who decided in 2007 to pack his things and move to Israel after being laid off from his job dur­ing the reces­sion. “Let­ters from Israel” is a col­lec­tion of his per­sonal sto­ries on pol­i­tics, cul­ture, and reli­gion in the Mid­dle East as well as the com­plex­i­ties and para­doxes of life in the Holy Land — both the good and the bad.

The Mid­dle East is the per­fect com­bi­na­tion of heaven and hell, and this e-book will tell you why through twenty chap­ters encom­pass­ing 112 pages. From the Israeli-Palestinian con­flict to Mid­dle East­ern reli­gion to local sports to dat­ing, this e-book will explain the truth of life in Israel beyond what you read in the daily head­lines. Read this if you want to know what life is truly like in the Holy Land.
