The book is an anthology of articles written by the author over 30 years, from 1979 to 2010. These articles appeared in Armenian newspapers and magazines published in Lebanon and Diaspora. As the title suggests, the articles highlight the national, cultural, political, social, and economic challenges of the Armenians in Lebanon, Armenia, and the Diaspora. The articles are compiled under the following main headings:
- National Thinking
- A Diasporic Perspective
- Christian Identity
- Lebanese Belongingness
- A Denominational Understanding
Evidently, these captions underscore the author's thoughts, concerns and outlook on some of the issues, beliefs, opinions, and perspectives Armenian communities in Beirut, the Gulf, England and the United States of America hold and struggle with each in its own context. His genuine interest and subsequent writings about the challenges and aspirations of the Armenian communities in these countries and many others demonstrate the author's awareness and understanding of the significance of these communities and their struggle for the preservation of the Armenian culture, identity and faith in a globalized world.
The bulk of the articles, though, deal mainly with the Armenian community in Lebanon where he was born, educated and lived until 2005. Presently, Hrayr Jebejian is the General Secretary of the Bible Society in the Gulf whose headquarters are in Nicosia, Cyprus. He is married to Dr. Arda Boyneria Jebejian. They have two children, Vahe 17, and Alik 16.
