Jerusalem - the Tragedy and the Triumph is the story of the most important city in the world: what is to happen there will be of vital consequence to the rest of humanity, just as what happened there nearly 2,000 years ago affected the destiny of all mankind. It is the story, stranger than fiction, of a city whose secular history is phenomenal and whose religious significance is unique. It is the story of a people who present the most mysterious paradox of all time. Chosen to be a "peculiar treasure above all people - if ye will obey my voice and keep my covenant" - the Jews have yet known what it is to reap the whirlwind. It is the story of the past, the present, and the future; of vanished empires and modern carnage; of those who conquered for a while, and of One who conquered for ever. It is the story of a long journey through time by a people who will survive to the end and triumph, not their own efforts, but because God cannot fail in His purposes. - from Amzon
