A Book for Christian study?

After reading this book, I have selected it for use as a Bible Study topic. Understanding of our common roots and circumstances in the modern world can be gleaned from its pages. Borowitz gives flesh to the history of the Jewish people from an early semetic tribe to its place today as a force in America and throughout the world. An understanding can be gained of the various branches of the Jewish religion as well as the secular Jew in our society. His insights are acute and get to the heart of many of our modern concerns in 2009. A work of several years Borowitz has put forth a masterpiece of wit and reason. Always 'God' centered, he has given a guide book for a path through many of todays thorny questions. In closing I would repeat the words of the Psalmist as Borowitz did: I Shall not die but live and proclaim Adonai's deeds. I praise You, for You answered me and have become my deliverance. (118:17,21)
