The God of Israel Watches
By Jim FletcherToday’s column will be a bit more personal. I honestly feel compelled to do it.
…
A few years ago, I got serious about my support for Israel. I have not had many peaceful days since then. In 2003, the publisher I worked for created a publishing division, Balfour Books, that is specifically pro Israel. Jewish and Christian authors who write on a variety of issues.I left that publisher a few years later. This summer, I bought Balfour Books from them. My aim is to continue publishing and promoting books that teach people about Israel, ancient and modern. We have published books like Entebbe, about the famous hostage rescue, and God’s Covenant with Israel, a terrific history book for the layman.
However, I feel the opposition. It is daily. Weird things happen, like orders ship and get lost, and it should be routine. Actually, a multitude of strange things happen and they cannot be coincidence. I have many friends in publishing, and while they have challenges, they do not have the challenges that Balfour Books has. That’s a fact. I could list a whole slew of setbacks, but will give you just one example:
One day I had finally made contact with a well-known Israeli and, via email, was about to set an appointment with him on my next Israel visit. I set down my coffee cup when an email popped up from this person’s secretary. I clicked on the email and…my computer went dead. It was fried. Computer crash. I had not backed-up my hard drive in a few days, so I lost the contact name and could not get back in touch with them.
I guess that book project didn’t need to be published!
