Edited by Rev. Gilbert Lammerts van Bueren 

From the cover:
Hands enjoined in work and joined in prayer: a popular summary of the Near East Ministry's strategy. Through the ministry of the NEM, which started in 1963, more than 200 people have served Jew and Arab in the Middle East and have daily prayed for reconciliation and peace. In this booklet the reader is introduced to the practical ministry of the NEM and to the prayer for
the peace of Jerusalem. Pieter Siebesma explains the Jewish roots of this prayer. The former director of NEM Herman Goudswaard shares his views on praying for Jew and Arab. In closing, some guidelines are given to a responsible use of Biblical prophecies concerning Israel in our prayers.
