Informative at most. The first several short stories were in my opinion, a better evenly combined mixture about religion AND the story. Towards the end it seemed less about the "stories" and more geared solely towards religion. I became increasingly bored and impatient towards the end of this book.

I received this book in the mail as a freebie somehow. I was interested at first because I have Jewish ancestry and the book claims to tell the stories of 10 amazing Jewish people. Then I read it. The writing itself is pretty good. The content, not so much. Every tale in it revolves around Jews who discovered that Christianity was 'the truth' - mostly as a result of the hateful behavior of other Jews, as the stories tell it. I don't even really want this book in my house anymore.

Very predictable tales of Jews finding Jesus as their lord and personal savior. Preaching to the converted or to no one at all.
A must read before witnessing to Jewish people.

Throughout the world people are looking for spiritual truth and meaning. Is there a God? Is He real? Is He personal and does He really love me in a personal sense?
Written in an easy to understand manner, this book address's these questions. While anyone can read this book, it is written by a Jewish man for his fellow Jewish brothers and sisters world-wide. Here he shares a centuries old truth that helps them understand the Old Testament in a deeper way as did his brethren hundreds of years ago. In a way that connected them to a deep, intimate and dynamic way to their own living god, their lives are being changed today as they were then.
If you are Jewish and still seeking answers to so many of todays daily problems, this book could well be for you.
