The Children of the East is the story of how Islam can trace it's roots to the first chapter of the Bible and the story of Abraham's first born son, Ishmael. The Bible is mostly the story of the descendants of Abraham's second son, Isaac, but if you look carefully you will see a second thread that traces the story of the descendants of the other sons of Abraham and how they also were believers in Abraham's God and part of the Covenant between God and humanity. These Children of the East usually show up at critical junctures when the Children of Isaac have lost their way and abandoned God. The Children of the East work with the Children of Isaac to bring reform. This pattern continues up to the present day. This is the story of God being not an exclusive God, even in the Bible which many Christians see as exclusive. Here is the story of Hagar & Ishmael, Jacob & Esau, Joseph & the Ishmaelites, Jethro & Moses, Joshua & Caleb, Balaam, Job, Yael & Deborah, Elijah & the Arabs, Jehu & Jonadab, Jeremiah & the Rekabites, Jesus & the Magi, Saul & Petra and Muhammad & Revelation. This is the revised edition, updated in September 2019 with two new chapters (Jacob & Esau and Elijah & the Arabs), an expanded chapter on Muhammad & Revelation, and extensive footnotes documenting some exciting new discoveries that are woven into the story.
