They Thought for Themselves: Daring to Confront the Forbidden
reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


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.
