Books and Recordings by Resident Partners at Jubilee
One Thousand and One Egyptian Nights
by Jennifer Drago Published Summer 2007
Two years after September 11, 2001, many Christians and others in the west had turned a cold shoulder and a blind eye to Muslims in the Middle East. Jennifer Drago and her family, now back at Jubilee, saw things differently. They responded to a radical call that uprooted them from their life and work with refugees here and planted them among Muslims and Coptic Christians in a traditional and conservative town in Egypt. Jennifer recounts in the book the challenges and rewards of this three-year eye-opening journey. "It is not only our story but the stories of our neighbors: a blind Christian woman seeking why God made her this way, our widowed housekeeper raising two children and trying to stay financially independent so she doesn't have to marry again, our neighbor who is beaten by her husband who finally abandons her, a Muslim gynecologist and mother of four who not only teaches us about the values of Islam but lives them as well, and many other people who befriended us and whom we came to love and care about."
