BRADLEY, MARK — Iran: Open Hearts in a Closed Land

Authentic Media. 2008. (ISBN: 9781850787709). Paperback, 19 x 12.7 x 1.5 cm. Paperback in overall good condition. Reader review - "If you want to understand Iran and Iranians, READ THIS BOOK. It is written in clear, readable language, and is full of rich, informative insights into this fascinating land. It gives the historical background to the situation in Iran nowadays, explaining what has happened and why. It also gives the human side of things, showing how ordinary people have been influenced by all the changes in their country. It takes readers away from any stereotyped views they might have had of Iran, with its many stories about real people and actual situations they found themselves in. The title "Open Hearts in a Closed Land" is spot-on. For although Iran's political leaders have tried to close their land to anything they don't approve of, they cannot stop people's hearts being open to other ways of thinking, including the message of Christianity. All in all, I found this a very encouraging and thought-provoking book." ISBN 978-1-85078-770-0 9781850787700. Used: Acceptable.
