Colin D. Mallard

Colin Mallard writes from a different perspective, from a Taoist. You'll be shown the truth behind the Arab and Israeli conflict. This book takes place in the United States and in the Middle East. There are characters from many different generations including the most current situation with September eleventh. Each character has an important role with an important voice.

While among the chaos of Palestine and Israel, you can still find a positive message with meaning behind every word. If your thinking that Mallard is going to try to convince you of his opinions on war and religion, you'd be wrong. He simply introduces you to the other side of situations and hope that you can put yourself in someone else's shoes. In comparison most of our lives are much simpler.

Do you know all that is going on between Palestine and Israel? What about what's going on in your own county? If you're like me and want your questions answered, pick this book up and take a walk through someone else's neighborhood.

The book was a little hard to get into, and hard to keep my attention, so I think this book greatly deserves a 4/5.… (mais)

I finished reading “Stillpoint,” a couple of weeks ago and was deeply moved by it. So emotionally moved that every time the news reported on Israel and Palestine it would bring me to tears. My perspective has changed and I now feel as though I can see both sides, not just what we are programed to see, as Israel being the “good guys. I watched a movie a while back about a young Palestinian couple and I was confused, but now I think I understand at least somewhat.

Thank you! I am going to read it again.

This book has a huge amount of potential to bring about real change in the world. Though beautiful, riveting and poignant prose, Mallard shows a way towards the achievement of a brighter future for all. Whilst the story is mainly centred on the Arab-Israeli conflict, and America's influence on it, the lessons in this truly terrific tome could apply to anything.

Michelle Cohen Corasanti, the middle east expert, and author of The Almond Tree wants to see it on the required reading lists of politics students all over the world. A recommendation like that coming from the woman who wrote the most important novel ever set in Palestine can only be a good thing.… (mais)
