* * * * * * * Digital Edition 06/07/99 By Holiness Data Ministry * * * * * * * 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. * * * * * * * DEDICATION I wish to dedicate this book to my husband and two children. How well I remember one day as they took me to the old-fashioned railroad station, the three of them. They were bidding me good-bye for a week. They were smiling as I boarded the train. I hurriedly ran to the club car so I could see them from the platform. Patty, seven years old, was hugging her daddy's legs and
weeping. Fred was holding our little son. But when I called their names in farewell, Patty raised her face, one hand held high waving, while the other quickly wiped her tears, and a smile was upon her face. This scene I shall never forget. To these three I want to say, "Thank you," and to the dear Lord who gave them grace and kept them true to Him throughout all my absences. "Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israelis, that they might be saved" (Rom. 10:1). * * * * * * * CONTENTS Introduction 1 Hallelujah!
