Subtitle: A Secular Jew Comes to Faith in Christ<\/em>. Thomas Nelson, 2016, 269 pp.  I was aware of Klavan only as a hard-punching conservative PJ Media columnist before reading a review that 'turned me on' to this book.  It arrived last night thanks to the synergy of Amazon.com and the U.S. Mail.  I'm on p. 18, nearing the end of Chapter 1, "Great Neck Jew."   Klavan is an uncommonly good writer and I will undoubtedly read the whole thing.  If you are a tough-minded American Boomer like me on a religious\/spiritual quest you will probably be able to 'relate' very well to this book. A fortiori<\/em>, if you are Jewish.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here<\/a> is the review that made me want to read it.<\/span><\/p>\n
