Serves You Right Rob Heijermans

God extends His mercy to His worst enemies-and to ours. Hating our enemies is natural; it requires no training. Nevertheless, people all over the world are honing their skills and teaching their children to hate with ever increasing vehemence, violence, and bloodshed. Two thousand years ago, Jesus of Nazareth alluded to an event recorded in the Old Testament: "And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian" (Luke 4:27). This book is about Naaman the Syrian. Well, not entirely. It's also about a young slave girl. It's about a prophet who hated his audience. It's about a nation the world has treated with contempt and sought to eliminate. It's about me. It's about you.
