Nothing's Gonna Change My World by Dan Berg

There is a nation in the world to which God promised ownership of the Holy Land. The people of this nation have embraced that promise with all their hearts and are willing to do almost anything to see it fulfilled. Years, centuries, and millennia pass, but the legendary ideas still live on in the people's minds. This book is about these people.

The book includes two novels: "Joshua" and "The Country of Ertzel". Both stories are connected by a common idea. The seriousness of the book does not preclude humor and irony.

Ancient Joshua is the Biblical personage, the military leader and prophet, the son of Nun. The modern Joshua is a young boy living in an Israeli settlement. On the pages of the book the characters discuss the unfading and timeless problems of their country. The reader will find the story both absorbing and informative. The interpretation of the acts of legendary persons is unconventional and differs from that accepted in historical and religious literature. This will attract the attention of history fans.

The story "The Country of Ertzel" tells how the great love of a youth and a girl ends in tragedy - both are burned in the flames of a merciless war between common sense and insanity. The fate of other main characters involved in the irreconcilable struggle is also sad. The story tells about the misfortunes created by tenacious ideas of God's chosenness. The material used is about political events in one country known to all. The reader easily recognizes the prototypes of the geographical names invented by the author. The names of some heroes are chosen with a hint of real persons. There are many allusions in the text.
