UP FROM THE ASHES, DR A WITH SAMARA LEVY

Up From The Ashes tells the story of a penniless Syrian boy with dream. His poor family background didn’t deter him from aspiring to become a doctor, but rather spurred him on to study hard. He excelled in every subject at school, achieving his ambition of first gaining a scholarship for a free place at medical school, then of becoming a successful doctor in Syria. He specialised in intensive care, emergency care and cardiac surgery, and established partnerships in numerous hospitals, later going on to also become a consultant and trainer in disaster management.

His strong work ethic and service in these specialisms placed him in the thick of the Syrian war, where he saw and experienced the worst of the conflict since the start. Yet despite the atrocities he has encountered, many first hand, his Christian faith has been strengthened through the life-changing circumstances that destroyed his hospital, his community, and so many lives around him. In the midst of the chaos and destruction he reached out day by day, year after year, to serve and encourage his people. He continues to pursue his mission to serve and revive his community through establishing an infrastructure which serves the genuine needs of the Syrian people.

His story is one of betrayal, loss and forgiveness, yet also of hope, resilience, love and integrity. It is a challenging and humbling, yet deeply inspiring page-turner, and will be a true, life-changing gift to all who read it.

Dr A is a pseudonym for Samara’s Aid Appeal’s Country Director and partner in Syria

REBUILDING THE RUINS, SAMARA LEVY

‘Rebuilding the Ruins’ tells the story of Samara Levy, a mother of two young children, who in 2014 embarked on an incredible journey, after seeing reports of barefoot children living in snow covered refugee camps. She began asking the mothers at school for winter clothes, and it quickly grew into a nationwide appeal taken on by hundreds of churches, schools and community groups across the UK. It grew into a charity which has provided a handful of field hospitals and medical facilities in Syria during the conflict, has established an outreach centre for orphans and widows, is undertaking farming projects and has a goal of building a new hospital to serve the Syrian people.

It is a story of hope, faith, and of love which crosses borders to reach out to some of the world’s most vulnerable people. It describes countless, incredible answers to prayer, in response to stepping out in faith to serve others.

All royalties and proceeds from book sales go back into supporting Samara’s ministry to the poor, vulnerable, broken and spiritually hungry in Syria.

'”We are damaged inside just like the buildings you saw. You can see the stones on the street, you can see the buildings destroyed, but inside every person going through the war: they are more damaged than the buildings. We are burning inside.'“ Aleppo Aid Co-Ordinator.
