Excerpt from American Heroes on Mission Fields: Brief Missionary Biographies Her pride was severely tried by the circumstances in which she was placed at this early age. Hard disci pline was mingled with these youthful experiences. Her pride, her love of ease and tasteful things, and her dislike of all that was coarse or vulgar, made many dif ficult places for her feet to tread. But amid the losses and adversities of her lot the Lord met and spoke to her soul and won her to himself, and she became thence forth his loving and obedient child. She was about fourteen years of age when converted under the gospel preaching of Rev. J. T. Avery, the evangelist.

In a remote corner of the world, forgotten for nearly three thousand years, lived an enclave of Kurdish Jews so isolated that they still spoke Aramaic, the language of Jesus. Mostly illiterate, they were self-made mystics and gifted storytellers and humble peddlers who dwelt in harmony with their Muslim and Christian neighbors in the mountains of northern Iraq. To these descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel, Yona Sabar was born. Yona's son Ariel grew up in Los Angeles, where Yona had become an esteemed professor, dedicating his career to preserving his people’s traditions. Ariel wanted nothing to do with his father’s strange immigrant heritage—until he had a son of his own. Ariel Sabar brings to life the ancient town of Zakho, discovering his family’s place in the sweeping saga of Middle-Eastern history. This powerful book is an improbable story of tolerance and hope set in what today is the very center of the world’s attention.
