Fareed Terneash, son of a Christian mother and an atheistic Communist father, leaves behind in Nazareth a broken romance and his appointment as delegate to the communist Youth Conference in Moscow. He travels to the Gaza strip seeking work.
Caught up in the Six-Day war, Fareed is transported to Jordan on the identification papers of a dead man. There his capture, torture, conversion, and eventual ministry among the prisoners end in an unexpected amnesty by the King.
Fareed is released into the streets of Amman without money,lodging or food,in constant danger of being shot or arrested because of his lack of official papers.
Through the help of a Palestinian, he begins work in the palace of a Prince. Later, in a Baptist hospital in the mountains of Ajlun, he ministers to Palestinian commandoes, telling them of his new-found faith.
Fareeds long-sought passport is issued through intervention of the Jordanian Queen. Thus begins his adventure in America as an eigth-grade dropout entering college.
