| Introduction | My name is Omar. Since the days of the Bible, one’s name in the Middle East can tell you the nature of the person. Omar is Arabic for “first born son” and is the root word for “one who builds.” In Hebrew it means “gifted speaker or storyteller.” My father is a Muslim from Iraq, my mother is a Christian from Texas, my wife is half Jewish, and I am a Methodist minister. To that end, First Born Son seeks to tell stories that help build bridges of understanding, repentance, reconciliation and peace. |
