"...the book is called, Son of Hamas: A Gripping Account of Terror, Betrayal, Political Intrigue, and Unthinkable Choices….it’s published by SaltRiver, an imprint of Tyndale House Publishers, and hits bookstores next Tuesday….the author is Mosab Hassan Youssef, the eldest son of the leader of Hamas….just since the Haaretz story was published, the book has skyrocketed on Amazon from #72,000 yesterday to #146 as of 11:00am eastern….it’s a phenomenal book — one of the most powerful testimonies of a Radical Muslim leader coming to Christ and turning from hatred for Israel to love for Israel that I have ever read..."That's pretty incredible.

This book looks like a powerful testimony to the Jewish people as well. In the Haaretz article about him, Yousef is quoted to say:
"Hamas cannot make peace with the Israelis. That is against what their God tells them. It is impossible to make peace with infidels, only a cease-fire, and no one knows that better than I. The Hamas leadership is responsible for the killing of Palestinians, not Israelis," he said. "Palestinians! They do not hesitate to massacre people in a mosque or to throw people from the 15th or 17th floor of a building, as they did during the coup in Gaza. The Israelis would never do such things. I tell you with certainty that the Israelis care about the Palestinians far more than the Hamas or Fatah leadership does.""Hmmm...I hope he is living in hiding.

If I thought he´d read the book, I´d be the first to send him a copy.
However, where McLaren is concerned, I suppose I´m far too cynical to be optimistic.
I think he´d just toss the book into the bin, muttering something about ¨the desperate propaganda of that shrill, radical, conservative, Bible-thumping evangelical crowd trying desperately to influence his illumined perspective.
Haha...I think you are probably right.
This guy is, brave, brave, brave. An example to us all.
That's for sure!
