BACK COVER TEXT
Israel, O My People!
Follow a dynamic little Jewish woman (not five feet tall) into such places as a baker's
shop, the emergency room of a large city hospital, the trial of the mass murderer, Adolf Eichmann.
Israel, O My People is the story of Irene Hanley's fearless, compassionate effort to share her happy
discovery of the Messiah.
Leading a Chinese patient to the Lord by means of sign language while she washes his feet;
baking cookies in the home of a Jewish stranger; praying with an anxious unwed mother aboard a
Delta Jet; dropping in unexpectedly on a French convent, the deep moving purpose of her life is to
make Christ known.
From Israelis who suffered personally at the hands of Eichmann to the rabbi of the local
synagogue; from a haughty, modern young Saul in Jerusalem to the seventeen-year-old Jewish boy
handing out Communist literature on an American street corner, the love of Christ leads her where
others fear to enter.
Here is a book with deep insight into what it means to be a Jew, but especially of what
Christ can mean to both Jew and Gentile.

IN MEMORY
She trekked through mud and snow, through rain and heat, summer, fall, winter, and spring.
For eight years she knocked at my door, took spittle and abuse, but she led me to the Lord Jesus
Christ. Her name was Myrtle DeVries.

could see them from the platform. Patty, seven years old, was hugging her daddy's legs and
