Rabbi Cohn moves his story along quickly, with short (1 to 2-pg) sections forming a 60-pg. autobiography. His writing style is clear and compelling.

This drives him to leave his wife and children behind for a trip to New York City. There he comes to believe that Jesus was the hoped for Messiah.

I read this book to get more of an insight on how the Chosen People Ministries got it's start. I found Rabbi Lopold Cohn's journey to be insightful and just astounding! His hurdles and how he was pursecuted was extreamly heart wrenching. But Rabbi Cohn Persevered and witnessed to his people, and the amazing outpour of new believers immersing themselves into the gospel was just an increadible story!
A gift from the nonprofit Chosen People Ministries. I really liked the story! It takes place & was written nearly 100 years ago (late 1800s - early 1900s), so some parts of it may not be as easy for the early-21st century reader. But it's amazing to hear of Rabbi Cohn's story of how as a Jewish Rabbi, he & his family came to faith in Yeshua (Jesus) as the Messiah, & their trials, pitfalls, & victories since then.
