A Boundless Tale of Love. Replenishing the Sea of Galilee is a sweeping story of love, loss and the power of loyalty in the face of conflicting ideologies and religious beliefs. The story begins in 1940s Palestine where twins Rasheed and Rasheeda Dinar work in their family inns. Educated by a Jesuit priest about the essence of his own Muslim religion, relative to love and sex, Rasheed follows closely the teachings of his mentor and includes Rasheeda, so that she learns those teachings as well. When Rasheed falls in love with Natalia, a Jewish woman, he is able to apply what he learned from the priest to his budding relationship. However, it is the 1940s, and relations between Arabs and Jews are tense. Before long, those tensions come to a breaking point. Natalia mysteriously disappears, and Rasheed and Rasheeda are chased out of Palestine to Beirut, Lebanon. Years pass, and though Rasheed continues to miss his beloved Natalia, he gets word of a surprising visitor-someone he didn't even know existed. Rasheed's life is upended, but in the most wonderful way. As the Dinar family expands and enters the 1970s, their convictions are tested. In a dramatic final scene, the family reunites and proves once again that the thin line separating people because of their differences is powerless against the strength of family, love, and loyalty.

I was very excited when I found out I would be receiving a advanced copy of Replenishing the Sea of Galilee. It sounded so interesting and part of the story took place in Lebanon. I am half Lebanese and was excited to read about the country. The story follows twins, Rasheed and Rasheeda Dinar. Set in Palestine during the 1940�s (and through the 1970�s), we follow their stories of loss, relationship hardship and the power of familial bonds and love. Rasheed, a Muslim, falls in love with a Jewish woman named Natalia. Over time, their religious differences get the better of them. Natalia disappears under weird circumstances. The twins are chased out of Palestine and land in Beirut, Lebanon. I won�t ruin the most exciting parts of the book but it�s a whirlwind from here on out! I think this is a timely and appropriate story for the love of differences between people. It teaches the importance of looking past your differences with others and instead focusing on our similarities. Proves that with mutual love and understanding.. anything is possible.
