It is May 23, 1948, and Jewish and Muslim forces have been in brutal conflict since the new State of Israel was proclaimed nine days ago. The Zion Gate is closed and the Haganah patriots, struggling to hold on to the Old City, are running out of supplies. Inside the city, the defenders' valiant spirit threatens to fail. The leading Haganah strategist, Moshe Sachar, is trapped in enemy territory and desperately races to reach his pregnant wife, Rachel, and the others who continue to fight for the Old City. Rachel's grandfather sees a prophecy of hope for Jerusalem, but can Moshe reach them before it's too late? Jerusalem's Heart is a riveting novel of the battle to liberate the world's holiest city. Once again, Bodie and Brock Thoene combine an unsurpassed and timely blend of history, superb storytelling, and incredible drama that thrills from cover to cover.

For millennia, Jerusalem has stood as a nexus of faith and conflict, where the sanctity of the holy clashes with the profane reality of conquest and occupation. From the Canaanites and Israelites to Crusaders, Ottomans, and today's contending Israeli and Palestinian claims, this ancient city's very existence has been a catalyst for unifying reverence and violent division. In this sweeping historical examination, Borna Ahadi takes readers on a deeply immersive journey that probes the complex narratives and clashing visions that have defined Jerusalem throughout the ages. Weaving together biblical accounts, archaeological research, and diverse cultural perspectives, the author unravels the intricate tapestry of traditions that have sacralized these revered stones while catalyzing their repetitive conquest. Why has this singular place nurtured sublime expressions of the divine and the intense pursuit of earthly domination? What deeper truths and symbols reside within its old walls? As the author guides us from Jerusalem's prehistoric origins through its monumental monuments and pivotal turning points, the haunting paradox at the city's heart emerges. Part gripping historical chronicle, part meditative spiritual exploration, 'Who Owns Jerusalem?' illuminates how the essence of the human condition - our duelling capacities for transcendence and tribalism - has been profoundly etched into Jerusalem's very existence. This book is a revelation for those seeking to finally understand the complexity of this universally cherished yet bitterly contested place.
