28 To the Seed of Isaac ... and of Ishmael Appendix * * * * * * * INTRODUCTION The story of Mrs. Irene Hanley is typical of many Jewish youth forced to bridge conflicts in culture and religion. Her strict, European parents struggled to raise their daughter with firm moral standards and Jewish identity while having personally departed from the God of their fathers. As an innocent young girl she struggled to understand the cruel taunts of Gentile schoolmates. Finally, she retreated into atheism. Then, she was instantly and radically changed by an experience similar to that of the Apostle Paul. Immediately she became a radiant, fearless witness for her new-found Lord. For many years, between speaking and witnessing tours in America and the Middle East, she has given her services in a large St. Louis hospital. She has spoken to some of the largest camps and conferences in the States, and is the founder of Sar Shalom Ministries which sponsors a radio broadcast on more than thirty stations. Yet I have seen her as concerned for one lonely, disheartened soul as for a congregation of thousands. These glimpses of a woman in perpetual motion are told largely in her own words, adapted from her public addresses. Therefore, they have more of the personal, spoken flavor than of finely polished literature. Her sturdy convictions are balanced with great compassion to produce a winsomeness the Psalmist calls "the beauty of holiness," a quality revealed in her life and her spoken ministry. Many of the names of characters in these stories have, understandably, been changed. Israel, O My People, will help you to understand the Jewish Christian relationship in the light of the Gospel. The book is not a discussion of theories, but a great conviction worked out in flesh and blood encounters. As you follow Irene Hanley into small comer shops, through the crowds of a busy airport, or into the tense drama of one of the most infamous genocide trials of the century, you will see Christ transforming lives and glorifying Himself through a woman of very small stature who trusts a very big God.
