The Siege of Jerusalem, Book

The Siege of Jerusalem tells the story of one woman on a heroic mission in the Holy Land during the dangerous days of Israel’s War for Independence. Pauline Rose, a mother of the Messianic Jewish movement in Israel, tells the dramatic story of how she came to the holy city to ignite the Sabbath light of Messiah in the midst of bullets and bombs: God gives a promise, a vision; however, if we do not have the faith to wait for its fulfillment, we also perish.
