Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2013
So enlightening. I am a Jew by birth but a Christian by faith; however I did not learn of my Jewish heritage until later in life....after I had accepted Jesus as Lord. This book explained so much to me and cleared up so many misconceptions that are taught by the Christian church. This is a must read for those seeking to understand our Judeo-Christian heritage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soul stirring gem
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 4, 2015
I read this book 20 years ago. It is a little gem: it touched my soul then and now. It is letter to the author's grandson not yet born. Edmond Fleg writes from his heart an account of his faith lost and found and his reasons why I highly recommend the book to add to your Judaic library or for anyone interested in Jewish essence. I absolutely cherish it.
